Question Anyone shim their automatic transmission actuators?

Okay, i know there's a thread about this, but last time i saw it the pictures didn't work. So i've been wondering, has anyone done this "mod" to their tranny? If you have, could you show me what you used for your shims? And how the tranny was held up. Also, how does it feel, how different from stock? I'm going to flush my tranny pretty soon and replace the filter, so i plan on doing this while i have the pan off. Thanks in advance!

Well, i just found the thread i was looking for on lexusclub. My bad. I guess i can make this still useful. How much of shim/spacer did you use per actuator and what kind of results did you get?

My tranny is still stock except for a cooler and i have no issues with it. Shimming the accumulators in mine would make my get lots more wheelspin and make my car a bit uncharacteristic in boost I think.
