Randy,
Hey If you dont like the crispness after you increase the regulated pressure
then I would continue to enlarge the hole, only do it in steps as opposed to
throwing the whole nine yards at it and opening it up to .093... Its going
to be more time consuming, but a lot safer to sneak up on it! Id try
increasing the pressure regulation first though! My .02...

Ok this is a two part question..
What engine does your Dak have in it?
Bruce, mrdancer
So you DO NOT think it would ba a good idea to drill out the 1-2 separator
plate to the .093? I realize it is easier to take more away than to add to
it...
I am going to install one of these in my truck probably next weekend, the
Dak is in serious need of a firmer 1-2 shift, I feel like it is a luxury
type vehicle...
Anyone else have any dealings with these shift kits??
