B&M Shift improver kit

I recently started working at pepboys part time. I was walking through an aisle and notice the B&M shift improver kit for the 700-r4 haning up on a hook. Only $30, How much could a shop charge to install this? It only seems like a few pieces of stuff...

I wouldnt waste your money on that thing, its a crappy version of a shift kit. If you really wanna see a difference get a trango shift kit. summit racing part #trg-700

I dont really want to spend $140, I can buy the B&M for $30 + 20 % employee discount and have it installed there also along with the discount for installation. How much would this installation normally run?

yeah it's all of differant springs......and instructions for where to drill........basicly all your doing is the valve body upgrade and no internals.......so after a few good launches the old worn clutches are gone......


so yeah $30 is a gooooood deal. at least get the FULL b&m kit.
