Default Anyone using the low-end B&M Shift Kit?

My mechanic buddy was showing me the B&M Shift Improver
kit that he's all in love with for installing on cars (in part due,
I think, to it not being a whole lot of work, no valve body
teardown etc.). Seems near the price of (say) a TCI or
Trans-Go but a lot simpler. It's the lowest of the three B&M
packages.

He says he put one in a blower truck and it worked out nice.

Anybody here been running one of these, or know whether
it's worth the effort relative to other more involved ones?
I still am sitting on a Trans-Go kit that I don't feel like
screwing with (especially putting the valve spool to the
bench grinder).

would stick with the trans go kit. No personal experience but I have had buddies with both...the one who got the B&M kit was disappointed, and I can attest to the meager improvement in shifting. My friend with the trans-go gets much more firm shifts out of his.

Good Luck

I would go with trans-go over the B&M and Superior over both, experience with all three.
