Bob:
Did you do the maneuver with the OD unit when you installed the TransGo?
According to the instructions that I got, on later model Dakotas
(apparently anything after 1992), in order to install the rear servo
properly, you have to remove the drive shaft, unbolt the OD unit and then
slide it back from the tranny so that the "strut" can be moved and then
the rear servo mounted.
I had this done for me as I do not have access to a lift. I have no
problems at any throttle position with the TransGo. I don't know if this
is related to what you are experiencing or not, but thought I'd mention
it.
Kuk says he is working on a "kit" that will enable the shift kit to be
installed properly without having to go thru the rigamarole above. That
would be nice!
HTH,

P.S.
Aaron:
How this kit compares to the Mopar kit, I have no idea since this is the
only kit I have experience with at this time. If the Mopar kit matches
the performance of the TransGo, I'd say go with it since it's cheaper and
made by the mfg'er of your tranny. Hopefully it's easier to install.
