Do shift kits help autos alot.?? and how is normal driving with them

 

the shifts will feel harder, which IMO is a good thing..They will also extend the life of the tranny, I think that would be due to less slippage...

 

would normal driving be alot different

 

Depending on how many washers are installed yes it will change normal driving. My shifts really firmed up with 2 washers and it would snap your neck if you were in the throttle just right and not ready for it. I did not regret it at all but I did mine so that when I put my converter in I would be ready. Once it was installed I can't tell it has a shift kit. I would recommend it because it gave some upgrades to improve potential problems. I also really only saw the difference in the 2nd shift the rest seemed normal but I still have torque management.

 

A shift kit can improve a transmissions life substantially and improve its performance. However with a stock built trans I usually suggest staying on the light side in th setting end usually they give various levels you can install to

 

so i should prolly get like a level 1 or something

 

Well i would get the transgo hd2 but when you look at the instructions there are various levels you can set it up to , If you get it just holler and I will help and advise you on it ,

 

ok i will. will it help 1/4 mile times much

 

A little maybe but its really more about durability

 

Nope, pretty sure it will not improve 1/4 mile times, get a stall and a shift kit together if you wanna do that

 

Or your could just goto our site buy a trans/converter combo and they allready have the shift kit and be done with it lol

 

^true

 

oh i always thought that a shift kit would help while you were racing.

 

it definently feels like it helps, I think it shifts faster, but I have heard from many that it does not help

 

does'nt a quicker shift mean your back into the power quicker? if so no matter how small their must be some gain.

 

Well there may be some tiny gain from quicker shifts , but it would be very small since your talking 1000th of a second changes. The biggest gain is in durability and overall feel.
