so im getting my 700r4 rebuilt and dont know what shift kit to get b&m or transgo. i dont want something thats going to blow u joints and my rear end up my rear end is on its way out and i hear the b&m shift kit is pretty harsh..anyone have any input

 

my dad put in a b&M quite awhile ago, i cant tell you what one exactly but its about a stage 2 of sorts for street and some strip. the trans is stock other than that and shifts as good as new. first has good response nice grab to it and it goes till you can hear the engine stop increasing the rev then it shifts hard into second and does the same into third, then third and forht its a nice smooth shift but i rarely get to forth somehow maybe its because of my 3.08 rear end gears. in a comptetitve sense ive heard great things about both companies even hurst that may have been for a different transmission though. you can also put corvette servos in with your shift kits i believe to improbe the firmness of each shift. i recommend b&m its been in my car for many many years Abused but taken care of and hasnt let my dad or i down

 

The modified TransGo Shift kit that I carry is the best at giving you the smooth shifts at part throttle and quicker and firmer shifts with more throttle. There are exceptions, sometimes the B&M works for someone, but in general they are very hard on the unit. Nobody who builds these for a living that I know of in the last 25+ years will use or recommend the B&M valve body kits.

 

transgo is the best... B&M is a neck breaker horrible shifting....

had i known months earlyer that pobuilt sold a modified transgo i would have bought that

 

TRANSGO all the way!!! Nuf said. I've had TCI , B&M and Transgo. Transgo is the best hands down. I even took out the other ones in my other cars/truck just to put a transgo in. But thats jmo.

 

hmmmm i dont understand why you guys are having issues with b&m so much, mine worksgreat but on the other hand it was put in in 1988

 

As I said, there are exceptions.

 

pro built how much do you sell the modified kits for?
