Hey guys,
I have question about a shift kit, I bought an 84 firebird (pick it up tomorrow)that is in great condition the owner says it has a shift kit on it. now i noticed when it drops from 1st to 2nd its a pretty hard drop almost like popping the clutch (sorry if im not making any sense... i dont get the purpose of the shift kit) it dosent seem like a slip to 2nd at all its like 1st........BAM 2nd.........smallerBam...3rd.....even smaller... is this normal for a shift kit or is adjustment needed.. any ideas?

 

that's what a shift kit does. it makes nice quick firm shifts.

 

sounds like the tv cable may need to be adjusted.

 

thanks for the replys guys, is there any sort of guide on how to adjust the cable.... or to simply check if everything ok? the owner warned me that with the kit the shift to second is pretty hard so i was prepaired im just trying to make sure its not Too hard..

this is the link that breaks down how to adjust the tv cable. Only takes about 30 seconds.

 

Thanks TADailyDriver,
thats exactly what i needed.

 

I printed it all out so that way i can read it and adjust it while im under my car. Much easier that way.
