I think that is the one with the "better than vette" servo. I think it would be a little to hard on the street if that is the one Im thinking of. I have a B+M shift kit with the vette servo and mine shifts very "firm"- chirp, bark. Everyone here will tell you to go with the transgo shift kit and youll probably get mixed opinions on the vette servo.....but I would reccomend it, it did miracle for my trans.

Most guys here like the transgo kit and have had good succes with it. But I have used the products from Fairbanks and I love 'em. The servo, upshift sleeve kit (for 3-4 WOT shifts) and the service is great. I'm not a daily driver though, mostly for the weekend but if you don't mind the firm shifts, go for it.

 

thanks for your help guys...anyone know what price range the kits run in?...i just hear good stuff about Fairbanks and am looking into it...thanks

 

I have the Fairbanks kit with the big servo and love it. Just play with the t.v. and gov. and it's very streetable.

I had my tranny (actually a 89) rebuilt by them about 4 years ago and I have had absolutely zero problems with it.

Yes the shifts are firm, but not too bad. I bet my 3000 stall converter isn't helping, but I don't mind. As long as your TV cable isn't adjusted too high, it isn't bad at all. And I never worry about breaking this thing... well, almost never!
