A question for you transmission experts......
I have a GM Factory rebuilt trans [P/N: 24204974] Installed Jan 1999
Trans has 204,000 miles on it! Only modifications are a deep truck pan, and no TQ converter dust shield, no programming, no shift kit. I have used a B&M Shift+ switch when drag racing. Fluid/filter has been done at least every other year, sometimes every year. Reline ATF. The trans has and still does perform without any issues. Engine is also stock (Fresh air, cat back,etc.) I have 3.42 gears.
The car has been driven very hard! but maintained very well!
It's time for another filter change and i was wondering: Would I be wasting my time / money installing a transgo shift kit and sonnax accumulator pistons while the pan is off? I'd be throwing approx another $250.00 + my labor at it.
My goal is simply to extend the life of the trans and I wouldn't mind the crisper shifts.
Have I already asked too much of the trans? Would this quicken it's demise?
Thanks in advance
