Default shift kit info/questions

i may have missed a link or sticky, but i was just curious which shift kits, if any, everyone recommends

i've been surfing ws6store, and they have a B&M kit for $38.99, which is relatively cheaper than others such as TransGo ($110ish)

what does everyone prefer? thanks

Most people use TransGo.

You can search the keyword transgo.

You have to remove torque management when you use a shift kit. If you refuse to remove it, then don't waste your money on a shift kit.
i would be doing a stall at the same time, so torque management would be removed either way

correct, i mean, i think

i'm still trying to get all of this auto stuff straight after having owned a T56

i guess i've just read where shifts can feel kind of "loose" or "sloppy" after going to a different stall, and that a shift kit can remedy this

please correct me if i'm wrong, i can use the constructive (i hope) criticism

The best way to manage going to a stall is a quality shift kit like the TransGo HD2 and a tune for the updated stall converter. There are some transmission parameters that should be massaged. You will need a tune to remove torque management, so they can be adjusted at the same time.
