I pick my baby up tomorrow after having the Transgo shift kit and Suncoast TC installed........Do I have to train the transmission all over again? Should I drive it like I stole it? HJ

When the dealer installed my euro tc and new front pump they did a "quick learn" but it still took about 100 miles before it settled down. In the FSM and tech section here there's instructions for "learning" by certain driving procedures. You could just drive it normal and let things take their course. When I put in the un f37 tcm it also took time to settle down.

Check the fluid level and drive it normally :BANANA:

X2 on drive it normal, you will notice a few weird shifts for the first 100 or so miles.
With your higher Performance Tune, you will get the full benefit of the SunCoast/Transgo upgrade.
Don't be shocked if the shifting keeps getting better and better for the first 1500 miles.
Check your fluid level after the first 15 miles with the engine running, mine had a bunch of air pockets that had to work their way out. Carry some ATF+4 with you until the level quits going down. With my extra deep PML pan (same ont the 68RFE uses, it took 17 Quarts.
Also you will notice a lower engine vibration level than with the stock converter and may hear sounds that were masked before, don't be shocked.

Enjoy
