    is the shift kit and servo necessary? or will increasing line pressures in the tune work just as good?

    It will break either way. You can increase the line pressure but I think you are just pushing fluid to places it isnt flowing. Heard it floods the clutches. Shift kit and servo are the way to go.

    Mine went out on me before I even started modding with 43K miles. They aren't strong and will give it up sooner or later....most likely sooner!
