TRNW-2: 6R80, rebuild minimums

[Chris and Cathy Kershaw]

Borg warner frictions & high quality lv atf only on these for us, we pre
soak the frictions too. We tried exedy frictions, bulk atf & additives but
the kickdown squawk never went away completely. I get the oh kit from ford
and individual frictions from transtar. When valve bodies were 500 or less
we replaced them, last few units we did both transgo kits. No programming
but do need to reset adaptives on a scan tool.
