What makes this a 'Stage 3' transmission?

A Stage 3 build typically means it includes upgraded clutch packs, a performance valve body, and a higher-stall torque converter. This allows it to handle more power and torque compared to stock or lower-stage builds.

Does this transmission require any special installation tools?

While specific tool requirements can vary, installing a transmission generally requires heavy-duty lifting equipment like a transmission jack, along with standard mechanic's tools. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list.

What is the T.V. Cable connection?

The T.V. (Throttle Valve) cable connects your accelerator pedal to the transmission. This specific package is designed for models that use this cable system, which was common on earlier 48RE transmissions.
