Default Got my TCI shift kit today :)

I see now why all the talk about it being easier to install hehe its basically 4 springs and 2 drill bits and thats it...they include new gaskets and a new filter but the kit is simple...no stage 1-2-3 but thats fine with me for 40 bucks less ill take what i can get It was missing a drill bit but the guys at tci are hookin me up through the mail...hopefully it will be installed by sunday night and ill give you my thoughts as im not messing with TM till a later time I do have a 98 which some say is less likely to have problems so we'll see.

Look inside the filter for the drill bit. Mine was in there.
