Default Best Shift Kit?

After searching, I can't find a perfect answer. From my research, I would say TransGo, Thrasher, or Intense.

Thoughts and suggestions?

Thanks!
Tom

Any war stories on which one would be better guys? I'm still deciding between Intense and TransGo and have contacted TEP and Intense regarding the product. Intense may be more refined but is geared towards harder shifting. Also, I question the reputation of Intense...

Thanks,
Tom

Default shift kit

It sounds like you answered your own question. I went with the transgo shift kit but I did a few other things at the same time (transmission flush, dogbone with polymount). I was very very happy with the results.

springs in a kit will generally shorten the **** time, while the washers will make it **** harder. Don't install all the washers if you are concerned about hard shifting.

lol... I have had the ZZP sk and the TransGo twice now and I will always go with the TransGo from now on. The TransGo and Intense are quite similar. I think the TransGo is cheaper so go with that one.

Research project finally ended guys.

I spent many hours researching various forum, posts, emailing companies, talking to techs, ect.

And the winner is..... Intense.

Chris from Intense is by far the best person to deal with of any company I've researched. He gave me direct and straight facts and was very detail oriented in his responses and didn't just say, "our kit is the most complete and best."

Furthermore, their kit is the most complete. Check out the various pictures of the kits...that alone will sell you. Look at the additional springs and orings.

Thanks for everyone's help!

I was starting to think that was too subtle.
