Re: B&M Shift Kit?

Ummm, you won't find many positive responses regarding the B&M shift kit if it's for a 700r4. The TransGo kits are far superior according to the 700r4 experts around here. I'd suggest sending it back to Jeg's if they'll do that, or ebaying it, then get the TransGo kit.

ONe of the members here has a shop and modifys the Trans-go kit to your specs...Look for him. It will be ALOT easier to install and should give you the performance you are looking for...it's like a personal tune for your tranny!

Look for Pro Built Automatics and ask for DANA...

Re: B&M Shift Kit?

its a bitch to install. Does make the 1-2 shift alot harder. Everyting else not really changed a whole lot. assuming you're talking about the 'shift improver kit'.

that BS about installing in 30 min w/ hand tools is just that, total BS maybe on a th350, but on a 700r4, i hightly reccomend dropping the tranny and turning it over on a bench, doing it under the car while she sits 12 inches up on jack stands sucks a big one.

Thank you so very much, I will give you a call next month, soon as I get my exhaust in. So I can see how much money I have left.

Well thanks for the advice. I think im going to just go with the other kit though. And yes i am talking about the "shift improver kit". But overall would you say you are satisfied with it?

When i bought it, it cost $30. If I had to do it again, i'd get the transgo kit, (or a full manual valve body) but overall, yes, i'd say i'm satisfied with it.
