No pitfalls.
Easy to do.especially if your tranny needs a flush and filter change.
Firmer,quicker shifts.
Only downside is that they wont do it for free.LOL.

 

yea not downfalls........its the first mod i did to my truck and it seems like a big deal but the work is super easy i had my girlfriend help out thats how easy it was

 

Thanks , I Guess Ill Go Withthe Stage 3 And Give It A Try

 

The only thing that sucked was the connecter on the drivers side. It's the white connector and its a bugger to get off. ANd make sure your gear linkage thing is lined up bofore u bolt everything up. i didn't and i had to drain my fluid again and redo all the steps to do it again.

 

Im not likeing that VB my friend Daytona81 just bought his and it shifts just as hard as my $80 transgo shift kit. IMO...

 

Go for it... its worth EVERY PENNY! Its Not a shift kit... its a modified Valve body that will give you firm hard shifts... the way they should be.

SPEED SAFE, AIR RAM

Did he do the StageI or StageII valve body?

Also, the great thing about the Sharadon Valve body is it shifts fairly soft under light throttle... but under WOT it staps very hard... unlike any shift kit I have ever used.

Great mod for the $.... Anything that comes from Sharadon is worth every penny!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

This All Sounds Like What I Want Comfortable Shifts At Slow Speeds And Wamos At Wot After A Stage 3 I Prob Don't Need Any Shift Kit......can't Wait,thanks Guys And Thanks For The Few Lookout Fors

 

Stage III rules

 

How much do they run again?

Anyone gain any ET with it?

 

1.7 tenths in the 1/4 with Stage III......documented by Jerry(hemidup)

 

Holy chit, 1.7 by just adding a VB.....hmmmmmm

Price?

I missed the damn GB didnt I?

 

I have a stage III in mine and I absolutely love it. The 1-2 shift is very hard, and the 2-3 shift is just plain incredibly hard!! I have no complaints at all.

 

So my birthday is July 27th hint hint

They are $325 + a $250 refundable core charge.

 

is that for the stage II or III?

Either...the price is the same for both valve bodies.

 

I wrote a how to and a little review on it here. You have the same tranny as my Dakota 545rfe. There is also before and after video in this thread. I now have superchips and i havent been able to make a new vid of it after the computer tune. Its even better now!! Limited torque managment

WOW, is one any better then the other?

The stage 3 shifts much harder. If you dont mind neck snapping shifts, then the stage 3 is the way to go. It is the best for performance.

The stage 2 is much better than stock, but the shifts are not as firm as the stage 3.

 

so i cause if they are the same cost and one is better. Then I would be dumb if I didnt get the stage III. haha

Man I hate this site, just when I think that I can take a break and save money......

The only reason why someone would buy the stage 2 instead of the stage 3 is if they just dont want a shift that is "too" harsh...if there is such a thing...haha

 

man to bad you dont live in FL, I would like to ride in your truck and see what a real shift is like lol

 

You can swing by TX on your way home...haha
