I am topswapping soon with a car that has 181k miles on it. What precautions/mods should i do to my trans OTHER than getting a new one?
Yes, i have heard the hopes and prayers before lol, but realistically. I have heard shift kit but i am afraid that would put MORE stress on it.

change the fluid and filter, if the fluid is still cherry reddish/pink then youre good, if its brown then thats bad and your trans' days are numbered.

There is really nothing you can do. A mild shift kit with slightly increased line pressure wouldn't hurt, as well as some fresh fluid with Lucas additive.
