I left a post asking some questions regarding the procedure and received the answers that I needed. Just wanted to say thanks for the guys who have taken the time to post information on here. I am glad I went to the trouble of doing this mod. When I pulled the pan, I could not believe how filthy the tranny fluid was. I ended up going with Mercon V and spent around $50 total on fluid. The car shifts beautifully now and its a wonder why Ford didnt attempt to design the shift like this to begin with. 1-2 doesnt shift nearly as hard as I thought it would (based on what I read). I do hear what sounds like the belt slipping when it shifts though. I changed both accumulators (just to be safe), removed lower spring and replaced upper with the brown spring that was suggested. Thanks again...
