I just did this repair on an 05 LeSabre the accumulator pistons were severely worn with the pins. I replaced the pistons pins and gasket along with this shift kit and it was a night and day difference in shift quality. The longest shift from 1-2 was 2.3 seconds! factory shift times are 0.3 seconds now my shift times are back down to normal.
Its also a good idea to pull the pistons out and use a scotch brite to clean the walls. I think the instructions actually say to do so if im not mistaken
I have a 00 old silhouette. Where is this located? What's the name of it. Do u need to drop the Trans. Did I work for u . I lost drive. Now I have to start in 1st to move. Once I get going it's fine. Idk what's up
@@scottst.vincent6964 thanks man this gives me hope, mine slips and bangs when I come at a complete stop at times. So hopefully this shift kit fixes that issue
I appreciate the video just did this on my 03 Buick LeSabre it was shifting hard and sometimes slipping when accelerating from a stop it was easy before you do I recommend putting trans tune and drive alot for a few days then drain the fluid feels like a new car now haven't had any hard shifts or slipping
well maybe I can save some of you problems. I am a professional transmission rebuilder of 40 years. on the accumulator pistons he is showing, you need to put in new ones. they are aluminum and they all wear out where the pin goes through the hole, and leak. it will cause sloppy shifts and burn your transmission up. also you can't install the whole kit unless you have the entire unit apart, he don't,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
My 06 uplander 150k has a harsh go after a stop sign, sometimes. Should I worry about that band that breaks. Can I do nothing and just live with it? Sometimes other gears shift hard too. Thanks
@@richardcallahan1689 dont know if you still need an answer for this and i cant comment on the harsh shifting, but the forward band, if snapped will more than likely leave you with only manual 1st (manual 2nd if lucky and doesn't slip)
