could someone recommend a shift kit for me, there are several companies that sell them such as tci trans scat b&m etc... has anyone used any of these ? i want one thats simple to install and makes a substantial improvement and costs under 100$ thanks for any help

 

idk about under 100 bucks, but i've heard transgo shift kits are really nice.
i havent heard a bad thing about them, its what i plan on getting when im at that point

 

TRANSGO Stage2

 

i have a b&m shift kit in mine. i like it. it still drives nice but if i get on it i can chirp the tires threw 1st 2nd and 3rd. took me about 3hrs to install with a new filter, and royal purple fluid. i paid around 175$ for mine.

 

I have run both and the B&M is WAY BEHIND the Transgo in MANY aspects. My fullsize van with 3.08s and P295/50/R17s would spin the tires(both) for about 10 ft on the 1-2 upshift and bark the tires on the 2-3 upshift, yet drove around mildly enough at light throttle to drive grandma around.

 

i too have had both b&m and transgo... and honestly i like the b&M... to me it feels better through shifts and it shifts hard from first to second to third... mine is also pressure sensitive.... the harder you press down on the pedal the longer it holds the gear before it shifts and if you have it mashed then it will shift pretty damn hard.... pretty cool feature actually.....and my 700r4 can go into fourth gear at wot... i dont think stock 700r4s can do that.. my 700r4 has been completly been reworked so i have the best everything in there.... so that might be another reason..

 

I have been modifying the TransGo Perfomance Shift kit for many years now, and it has worked out very well. This kit has the best of both worlds, smooth part throttle shifts and quick and firm WOT shifts. You can make the modification to hold 4th gear at WOT. Just ask when you order the kit and I will send the instructions on how to do this. If you have any questions on this let me know? Dana

 

how much$?

 

what would holding it in 4th gear at WOT do?
idk much about that stuff

 

I got the kit from Pro Built and I'm very happy with it, just be careful when installing it.

 

im thinking this lets you reach top speed

 

The kit sells for $164.82. Go to https://www.700r4l60e.com/store/prod...&cat=65&page=1 This includes the .500 main boost valve, .296 intermediate/reverse boost valve, Corvette servo, updated Viton seals, new accumulator pistons and new oem accumulator pins, the 700-2-3 shift kit, the junior shift kit, valve body gaskets, and everything else necessary to do the job right. The WOT 3-4 is an easy modification, I include the instructions for this in the kit if desired. Dana

 

how do you install this, what tools do you need? thanks.
