I think I am going to order one of the TransGo kits for my '02, since reading on a lot of threads that the TCM replacement usually doesn't seem to make any difference in fixing the transmission slip from 2nd to 3rd gear. I am not trying to spend $400+ on a part that won't do any good. Then I will have to try to sell it to someone else for less money than I paid, convincing them that it's brand new. I know the shift kits are definitely cheaper than getting a brand new TCM from DaveB, but I'm not sure about the labor. I know the installation of a TCM involves unplugging the old one, and plugging the new one in. I wanted to ask a few questions for anyone who has had one of the TransGo shift kits installed in their '00-03' Max:

1. Any idea what kind of labor hours I can expect to pay for to have this done?
2. Is the correct model for us the SK-RE4F04B?
3. How many of you have automatic transmission problems that were actually FIXED by having this shift kit installed, and what were your problems?

Thanks for any help.
