Hey was thinking about a shift kit for my car and was wondering if it was real noticabe difference and if it was worth it to you, also what brand to go with and where to get it thanks

It provides firmer and quicker shifts. I have a 3600 stall on a 4l80e trans which has pretty slow shifts to begin with. With the Transgo shift kit it chirps the tires going into 2nd and made a big difference in shift firmness and quickness. That being said I wouldn't consider it a necessary upgrade unless you go with a higher stall torque converter.

BTW I had similar results with the stock 4l60e and 4000 stall.

The TransGo HD2 is the only shift kit to go with. Firm shifts when on the throttle and smooth shifts when taking it easy. But it needs to be installed by a pro, or someone who has done a lot of them. A bit tricky, clearly.
And worth it to me; the tranny was slipping after the turbo install. The TransGo tightened it right up.

Theres a couple different stages you can go with to. Usually the lowest one by transgo is a good one. It shifts smooth while cruising and firms up nice up top. Stage 2 or 3 gives almost a jolt and has scared me a few times with the 10 bolt.
