Hi!
I followed the instructions on youtube as well as from the Superior Shift manual, and pulled the trigger yesterday on my 722.361.

I installed no: 3 (blue end on K1 and single red on K2), 6 (plain finish), 7, 8, 9, + separate bag for stacked 2-3 and 3-4.

Cleaned up everything and filled up with ATF.

Now, it has extremely long 1st gear, then shifts hard to 2nd and doesn't shift higher, even manually.

I'll be taking out those "stacked shifts" springs, K1 and K2 springs, because I didn't really need them, just had early 2-3 sometimes and main reason was harsh 1-2. Hopefully that'll fix it!

If you have any advice, please write. Pressures, bowden and vacuum are perfect.

Besides, I'm not sure about my "accumulator switching on control valve". It is really weird. Looks like version "B" on the attached ATSG picture, but the plastic star plunger has a tiny spring and I swear it came out located the other way. It cannot be placed the other way, so I put it back as pictured. However, the metal piston with hole below (right above gate) had a circular "shade" in the center of the smooth side, so I oriented it the smooth side towards the red plastic star plunger. It seems like that was a mistake.

Update: reoriented the metal piston element (thanks Squiggle Dog for photos!), removed all superior parts except 1-2 shift aaaand it's working again. 1-2 is a bit smoother at partial throttle. Was worth it.
