Question Does the shift kit have bad influence on the Trans?

Someone told me that the shift kit will influence on the Trans and will not stall long time (depends on the driver) but is it right?

What do you mean "will not stall long enough?"

I've beaten the **** out of my stock tranny and it's been fine with nothing more than the Trans-Go shift kit.

Therefore, it does not have a bad influence on trans. Thanks I am thinking to buy one in the future.

TransGo is the better kit.

This is not a matter of opinion, for it's been proven many times.

Trans Go Shift Kits Can harm your transmission, they tend to put too much line pressure on the trans and therefore wear out the clutches and bands in the trans. You dont need that much line pressure and b/m shift firmness kits will do just fine.

I live in Port st Lucie. Want to go for a ride, I have a transgo kit, HP Tuners and I can connect a trans line pressure test gauge. It doesn't boost line pressure enough to do harm. In fact the B&M kits usually have the same pressure reg spring in them.
