Anybody put a transgo shift kit in a bone stock tranny. I have an 02 WS6. I want to put the kit in, can't reprogram right now. but would like to know what you did and how the results turned out. Thanks guys for any help.

If you are talking about 1/4 miles performance, a transgo isn't going to provide a measurable result over a properly tuned & operating stock tranny. I've seen a couple people try several year agos to show a gain and not succeed.

he's not asking about the principle, he's asking about performance gains.

As far as that goes, a shift kit is not exactly a performance product. It's more for cars with large stalls and similarly sloppy shifts resulting from that. a shift kit firms them out a little, to make the shifts feel more like when the car was stock.

i think he means puttint a shift kit in a bone stock or trans with nothing previously done to it. Not that it will be bone stock afterwards.

what spy2520 said. As for a shift kit and no programming,forget about it. DO NOT PUT THE KIT IN!!! You need programming to remove/lessen torque management, if you dont your car will fall on its face every time the trans shifts cause the computer will see it as an abuse mode and retard timing and fuel untill the speed of the car matches the throttle input(which takes several seconds after the shift)

Yes, I have.
I have an '02 camaro SS.
It'll work, but you'll hit TM while driving hard.
Deleted all engine and trans TM, modified shift points, did not install the kit 100% as per the instructions.
Perfect after making adjustments to the shift kit and tuning a few times.
