The Suncoast should arrive on Wednesday by UPS.
Ordered the shift kit with the T/C.
A lot of money, $864.17, hope this works out.
Why Jeep did not build this right in the first place, I do not understand.
Hang on, it is going to be a wild ride.

Everything is relative. I just spend $6K on my 48re to get it "right". Oh course, it'll hold 500hp now, which isn't what your talking about. But we pay a price when we refuse to compromise performance. The manufactorers whole game is compromise. I think you'll be pleased with your investment in the trans.

Sounds like you bought a new tranny, what did you go with?

I took the road less traveled. Now I'm LOST.

Where did you buy the shift kit? Did you get a TransGo?

fastRob: Gary Kelly CEO of Southwest Airlines is an Accountant. FBI agents that are Accountants who put mobsters in prison are Real Accountants, if they are not Attorneys, or Scientists. The people who are not good at being Engineers, Managers, or Real Accountants are the STUPID BEAN COUNTERS who cause a lot of problems.

To climb onto the soap box: I personally feel that any Bean Counter who works for a Health Insurance Company and will not pay for a procedure that Two Doctors determine is needed to save a persons life resulting in that persons death, should be arrested, dragged out of their office in hand cuffs in front of TV cameras and charged with murder

The plastic torque converter and not providing a lift pump were stupid Bean Counter moves that will only be resolved with our wrench sets and After Market Suppliers like Suncoast. Should the Class Action Layers get involved and we win our case, Chrysler will not fix the problem, they will give us coupons good for the purchase of a new Jeep because paper is cheap and they can hide the cost and write it off as a loss with out paying out anything except what they paid the Law firm to settle the case, cost of the paper, printing, and postage.

To be honest, a roll of TOILET PAPER would have been worth more to me than the $1,000 coupon I got for the settlement on my '73 Chevy with saddle tanks

The torque converter is Suncoast as is the shift kit.
One stop shopping.
The idea is to fix the transmission before the engine tears the stock t/c apart and spreads plastic throughout the transmission.
The shift kit is to firm up the shifts to extend the tranny's life.
Gmctd and others did the ground work, a tip of the cap to their fine work.

Thanks for the information. I'm doing a 2.8 engine swap in a JK, so I will be buying the TC for sure. I didn't realize that Suncoast also made a shift kit. How does the Suncoast shift kit compare to the Transgo shift kit?

They resell the Transgo shift kit on their website, so it probably is the same kit. They also have another clutch rebuild kit:
