B&M vs. Transgo

I am debating getting a shift kit for my car. I have an 82 camaro with a TH-200C. I've narrowed it down to one of these 2 kits. Has anybody used either of these kits? Had any problems? Very pleased? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Re: B&M vs. Transgo

i plan on getting a transgo kit, but i was wondering, if i got a B&M shifter would they conflict or would they work together just fine?

Re: B&M vs. Transgo

The brand of shifter has nothing to do with the brand of valve body kit.

Re: B&M vs. Transgo

I originally went with B&M and I now regret it, as it has caused shifting problems for me. I'm now installing a Trans Go kit with a few added touches from Dana at Pro Built. As far as shifters go I have a B&M ratchet shifter that I was told will have no bearing/issues at all with the Trans Go.
