    Default Shift kit for Allison 1000?

    Got the new DA and love it but want to protect AND upgrade the Allison 1000 a little. After she is broke in a little more I want to install the 85HP tune via the Diablo. Not going for MAX HP, just a little more.

    I think a basic shift kit should help out, but what is the best for the $$.

    Transgo has the JR kit for under $80 but what other options are there along with why.

    I dont know what year you have, but based on you mentioning it was new, I'll assume 06. In that case, the Transgo Jr kit is the best bang for the buck no doubt. Its all you can do with out pulling the trans out.

    Yes, it is a new 06 with the LBZ

    The TG JR kit looks like the way to go so far.

    The transmission pan and valve body must be removed. The valve body gets split apart and mods made. No gaskets other then the pan gasket and no check balls or anything crazy (except in the shift kit) and with common hand tools and a few hours, can be acomplished by the DIY'er.

    Thanks, I'll have to look into it. I'm hoping they get a programer soon for these new engines, that will block codes on EGR and cat. And put a little more power out. Then I guess the transgo would be a good thing to do. I don't know if anyone has the data on whatn this new trans safely hold. I never did anything to the trans on the 02 except transynd and deep pan. Ran juice 90 hp box on level 2 towing and 3 or 4 running empty. Ran it pretty hard and never had a slip or limp or code had 65,000 miles when we traded.

    I have the Diablo which is supposed to block the EGR code and I have a plate coming for it

    As far as I know removing the cat should not set a code as there are no sensors down there and I have the downpipe on the way for it too. I already have the MBRP cat back exhaust and if it to noisy I will turn the muffler around.
