Probably couldn't hurt... there are plenty of shop reps on here that will probably be able to help. Might be dependant upon milage as to if it's going to hurt anything. I know I love mine.

Makes a noticeable difference in how your car shifts! It is worth the money for it!

Are you putting a stall in too? If not, not worth it in my opinion.

it wont hurt the tranny. it'll actually prolong the life of it. although i would recommend getting the servo's upgraded along with an aluminum accumulator kit, and spacer plate. Contact FLP for more info they are the true guru's.

I can't stand an automatic tranny without a shift kit. I love it when it barks the tires going into 2nd. So IMO definitely worth it.

straight from performabuilt, this is for a TransGo stage 2 kit

I think you thought he was talking about a shift-kit? A stall definitely won't prolong the life of the tranny, but it also wont lower it unless a transmission cooler isn't used.
