why is the transgo shift kit so much more than the b and m ?
does it have more parts or jsut higher quality?

 

Both, in my opinion.

 

Transgo actually bothers to research and find out why trans' fail and make attempts to remedy factory deficiencies as well as add performance.

B and M just goes for jack hammer shifts

long story short :-)

Dp yourself and your trans a favor and go with the Transgo setup

hey is the jeremy that was at big nicks cause this is the kid there that said he was getting a blue rs

 

trans go parts are the way to go. sorry to say but the b&m kits although get the job done, they do it in a hack job type of way.

 

The B&M kits do the job, if the job is to make the transmission shift hard.

 

guys ive been thinkin about gettin a trango shift kit for a few weeks now, but recently saw that one my fellow TBI guys (cadillac) recently put in a corvette servo. Now i dont know anything about building transmissions, but i do know that the transgo shift kit has the corvette servo in it. Now my question is, what the benefit of just putting a corvette servo in (Which is pretty cheap) and is it easier/more worthwhile to do than just putting in a full shift kit.

 

The Corvette servo (which also came in some cars besides Corvettes, including some F-bodies) gives more holding power on the 2nd gear clutch band. Using it is a good idea, but using it with a shift kit is even better.

 

I've driven the same vehicle with both shift kits. The TransGo is better hands down. The B&M kit had hard WOT shifts, but the part throttle shifts were hard too, often overly extended, and the downshifts could be a bit harsh. The TransGo kit is like you are driving a Mercedes at part throttle and while downshifting. When you go to WOT it gives you wiplash just like the B&M. It's the best of both worlds. If it was a race car and you want to firm up the shifts cheaply then the B&M has its place. In a street car I'd say go TransGo.

The Vette servos are a great upgrade too. More apply area equals more holding power.

 

BTW...i have a Transgo Shift Kit for sale...real cheap
