Default very anxious

to get my car back. it has been in the car for 2 1/2 weeks already and NOTHING has been done. im getting pretty frustrated. the guy in the shop said if i got a 3000 stall and a shift kit my trans would scatter... i find this hard to believe since alot of people are running 3500+ converters on daily drivers. my car is stock and the only mod i have coming is exhaust... is this guy just bs'ing me or what? thanks

If your transmission is good shape meaning fluid is in good condition(still red with no burnt smell) and the shifts feel good to you then by all means get the shift kit and stall. The shift kit will actually help save your transmission for a little while longer due to less hesitation during shifting.Also get a good transmission cooler if you go with a stall. If everything is good and you do these things then you should be just fine.

Sounds like your about to waste your hard earned money with shop that has no clue about transmissions.

TAKE IT TO SPEED SECRETS!

alright thanks everybody... the only reason i took it to this guy is because he is an old family friend and basically said i had a $1000 credit to work with because his shop got a car from my cousin so i got the credit so wouldnt have to pay for anything because im going to college in the fall and i dont have any money. but now he's saying all this bs so i'm calling him today and telling him that i am going to pick up my car on saturday...
