Get Dana's modified Transgo from Pro Built Automatics.

The only way to go so I hear. Just bought one myself but it's not installed yet. Can't wait.

Re: Shift kit question

Whatever, dude. I'm sure they appreciate your loyalty, but I think you're kinda screwing yourself by doing that. Sure, I buy from Summit ... but I also buy from Jegs, Eastwood, Speedy's and whoever has the best deal on what I'm looking for. In the case of the shift kit, Dana (a fellow TGO member) takes the standard TransGo 700r4 shift kit and makes it better (I don't know exactly what he does) and sells it for just a little more. I'd say it's the best deal. But if you want an inferior product just because it's ordered from Summit, that's your call.

Re: Shift kit question

Just look for 700R4 Upgrades (at Pro-Built); TransGo modified street / strip shift kit. If your trans is in good operating condition, you will notice a big difference (for the better).
