Well I wanted to change the seprator plate gaskets and I decided to put in the street strip springs. Kit says to only put 2 in, I put 3 in. I had to order another kit to get the gaskets, so I had spair Street/Strip from my 1st kit, and the 2 from the new kit. So I have the street/strip springs in for 1-2 2-3 and 3-od lol. I figured the shifts would be super hard, but you know what, there supper snappy and fast. It doesnt jar me at all, I know the 200 buck used trans that was supposed to be rebuilt might not be as the shifts arnt crazy, but there like my fav shifts ive seen out of a E4OD. Ill have to take some videos, and I also put in a deep pan, same as Chris. Derale pan is nice. The pan was leakin this mornin out of 1 bolt. I retightened it and I think it stopped. Anyway will eventually get pics.

Yeah my pan leaked at first too... It was because I used the crappy gasket that came with it :headbang: After It started leaking I took a look and the gasket has splits in SEVERAL places. Mind you-- that was only 1 or 2 days after I installed it.

Went to the dealership and got a Motorcraft cork gasket and it's never leaked another drop ;)

As for the springs... I didn't realize each spring was 1 gearshift! My 1-2 shift is nasty and I'd almost like to swap the stock spring back in for that shift...

Yeah man, it feels very hesitant and mechanical, not smooth at all.
