Default Shift kit?

I just bought an automatic WS-6. I love the car but I def. get ribbing from the know it all s that drive the standards . I was debating on swapping it over to a stick shift but I was told it would be cheaper and most likely better to just get a shift kit . Does anyone know of a good one that wont break the bank and is there anything I would need to change in the car once I buy the kit?

The "modified" Trans-Go Performance Shift kit will work very well here (smooth shifts at light throttle openings, & firm shifts at WOT), along with a 9.5" lockup torque converter (Edge, Vigilante, Yank, etc.).

ask anyone who races alot which is more consistent and all around better. tell the m6 guy to f*** off.

i had a superior shift kit and i like hard shifts so i had it adjusted to shift hard. it would put on a show at half throttle on street tires. i loved it. then i gotta cam and a yank ss4000. and im lovin it 10 times more. get you a stall

Instead of buying a kit you could always use a tuner to increase firmness as well as other things.

Just something to throw out there.

You can use the tuner to firm up light to medium throttle shifts, but not the WOT shifts, thats where the "modified" Trans-Go Performance Shift kit comes in. This kit can "keep" the light throttle shifts smooth, and WOT shifts firm.

go with the trans go kit and as big a stall TC as you can stand. I promise it will put a smile on your face.

Is the kit in that link a good buy? I am going to upgrade to a 4400 stall with my 'Rex cam and want to get the best shift kit I can get. What sort of kit should I be looking for?
