Thanks for info everybody? Another question how much would it cost to rebuild it before it goes out? And also my transimission is fine now, except right when i crank it up on a very cold morning it doesnt wanna shift right at all until it warms up, is this normal or is sumthing wrong?

Define crank it up and go. If you start and go right away ford's don't like that. Try warming it up for a few minutes first. Several things will like you alot more.

Is there a write up on the install of this? What will it actually do other than a firmer shift?

It puts fluid to the clutch faster. Instead of applying the clutch over a period of time with a ramping of pressure.

There is more to it than that. There is stuff in the tune that commands how long the shift should take. Shorten the time and it gets firmer. Shorten the time too much and the processor says this guy is crazy and it's not possible. So then it will take its sweet ass time to change gears. Which will result in a slip of the clutch.

Come on across the alley and you can get a "class" in torqshifts.
