TRNW-2: 6R80, rebuild minimums

[pat schulte]

I have done it both ways, replacing the VB with new OE and also using the 2
Transgo kits in the original VB. When VBs were $400 I would buy the VB, but
now it is not uncommon to have a VB at $700 or more, so I have been using
the kits and have had no issues so far. BW is best if you can get them.
Also know you may end up with a 3-4 squawk which is a pain, Ford sell an
additive, XL3 to address this issue.
