okay i searched the forum and found some good advice about getting a shift kit install but i still have some questions

i see alot of you guys go with transgo, is it much better than b&m?

i lack the knowhow to do it myself so ill be taking it to a shop. ive been getting estimates and their all over the place. ive heard i dont need a shift kit and with some drilling it can be solved for cheap,

should i let them just drill it like he said and how much should i expect for a shift kit installed?

thanks

btw its a 1983 chevy camaro z28 305 4bbl with a 4speed(700r4?!)

Don't let them drill......Install the kit use transgo....get a good shop to install it and don't pay anymore than say 280.00...plus parts....Hope this helps ..Dave

Definately use the Transgo kit,the other guys,b+m etc are not a true calibration kit.Do not settle for anything else.Ron

I agree with using the transgo kit it really works. Flt had a article in January 2006 By John Ulaszek done on them. In this article it shows some of the things they do on there rebuilts. There are a few things I recommend doing when installing the "shift kit". Update the 1-2 and forward accumulator pistons from plastic to the aluminum. Oh yeah and maybe some ***** with a new seperator plate. If you can get your hands on this issue, you'll see what I'm talking about...I know this will help!!!

I actually recommend getting your computer tuned instead of getting a shift kit. My car shifts pretty hard into 2nd from an electronical increase in shift firmness. It's much cheaper than having to buy a shift kit AND to have it installed. I had madz28.com increase my shift firmness 70% harder than he would NORMALLY do it. And it's a great way to get your car custom tuned at the same time.

my car is before the simplicity of computers lol. that would have been sweet.


is b&m not worth it even though its cheaper? im only 17 and want the best bang for my buck without wasting money that could go into cooler, and gears.


thanks for all the help
