Hopefully Jon with Dynamic transmission will chime in. It very wise to get advice from him before diving into it. You might have to wait till monday and give him a call.

I havent done any shift kits but I had my friend at a trans shop build mine for me when it blew. He was saying with the shift kit to just go nice and slow take your time and double triple check everything. He also told me not to mess with line pressure (i thought it would be a good idea to turn mine up not long before it went out) he got it reset based on the shift kit instructions. He also made me take out my lock up switch for the torque converter, he told me he wouldnt give me the warranty unless it was disconnected so i cut the wire out. 

 

Im not sure how far into this your going but depending on how many miles etc etc you may have more work to do inside than you anticipate. My torque converter was seized completely. EVERYONE was telling me to throw another converter at it and i'll be fine. I had a feeling that was wrong and brought it to my buddy just to inspect the rest of it. Well the rest of it was toast too. Drums had grooves, bands were worn down to the rivets, clutches were overheated and worn out and you could see the hot spots on the steels. That was before 140k miles and no power mods other than the previous owner put a superchips on it which the super chips maxed out was equivilent to probably level 3 on the edge so were not talking a huge gain in power here either just a little bit.

 

The craziest thing was that he was telling me that i had to have some slipping going on. He said with the amount of wear and just how bad everything was he said it would have been slipping real bad and it never slipped on me once it was solid as can be.

 

Im glad i was skeptical of chrysler techs that had been building transmissions for 30 years and didnt just throw a torque converter at it I would have had to buy two plus a rebuild after that one failed with all the metal shavings and junk that was in there.
