I'm a huge fan of the TransGo kits (for a long time now). They're still the
leader on shift kits (as they are the originators) and what APS does with
the standard TransGo kit plus their custom parts is incredible.
Turning off OD when towing or under heavy load is a good thing.

Does that mean to say you're not a fan of the trans-go kit? The trans-go
kit shows all these washers and gaskets and such which lead me to believe
it's a hardware kit -- or is it?
It only slips like that when I'm power accelerating, my guess is I'm just
pushing the little guy too hard sometimes. I've recently gotten into the
habit of switching off OD on the fly when I'm on seriously steep hills - is
that a good or a bad idea?
As for these ASE guys, is there a site for them? I'd be interested in
seeing what they've got.
Thanks,
Pete
