shift kit good or bad trans go

[SSMOKEshow]

shift kits are they good or bad for the tranny does it help the life of the trans or is it bad

[Y2KPewterSS]

Good upgrade for trannies, they can help the life of your tranny.

How many miles on the unit? What is the condition is the fluid? What torque converter are you running here? What rear end gear ratio? Anything done to the motor? If everything is in good working order, then the "modified" TransGo Performance Shift kit is the way to go to improve durability. It offers smooth part throttle shifts, and firm WOT shifts.

thanks guys

how much $$$ ? easy to install ?

If this is for the 1999, then I would go with the TransGo Shift kit with aluminum accumulator pistons, hardened and oem pins. They go for $117.64. If you are going to do this yourself without any help, then it will take the better part of a day. You will need solvent, blue shop towels, air, inch pound torque wrench, drill, files, normal hand tools, etc.

what shift kit do you guys recommend for a 2002 ws6?

[Pro Built Automatics]

The same kit, just maybe different separator plate hole sizes. That can depend on the torque converter you are running, which diameter and stall, rear end gear ratio, and how you drive, what has been done to the motor, etc.

Another vote for the Transgo shift kit, with the increased line pressure you will have to address the Torque Management system on the 01 & 02 models.

I just installed a Transgo shift kit on my tranny, I'll tell you the results once I get it all back together.

[jujofields]

So, in general, everyone votes for the Transgo shift kit for my car?

[346ci]

I definitely recommend the trans go shift kit, made a big difference, shifts are quicker and have less hesitation.

[tigersport14]

what about a 98? pro built automatics?

[Pro Built Automatics]

Yes, the modified one will do fine.

[tigersport14]

how do i have to modify it?

[cubs1]

Hey Guys. Wanting to do the same thing to my 2002 Z-28. Car is stock with the exception of an SLP lid. So is the Trans Go the best for my application? And who has the best prices?

How would I do that?

How would I do that?

You can have a tuner delete the torque management among many other things to help improve the performance of the transmission.

Why not just use a hand-held and program for firmer shifts & not have to drop the trans. pan or get your pinkie's all greasey ?

sorry to inform you but handheld programmers ARE A PIECE OF SHIT AND ARE WORETHLESS FOR OUR CARS.

I just picked up my TransGo kit but what do you mean by the "modified" TransGo Performance Shift kit? Did i get the wrong one of something?

[shiftless]

TransGo is THE way to go for shift kits, period. None of the other shift kits on the market are as effective and in many cases they can actually hurt your transmission. The automatic transmission is a very complicated piece of hydraulic machinery. Clutch/band applies and releases must be timed exactly right or the result will be harsh, clunky shifts and/or premature friction wear. TransGo seems to be the only company that actually takes time to study, research, and get these details right rather than just making a few quick easy changes to firm up the shifts and calling it good.

Not affiliated with TransGo in any way. I do build transmissions though and I have done my research on shift kits.

[Johns00Z28]

Putting my TransGo shiftkit in today, will let you know how it feels.

thanks John

[Johns00Z28]

Yeah it's a nice kit. Definitely got rid of the slow shifting...it's much more crisp now. The shift from 1-2 is almost instintaneous and it gets more aggressive with how much throttle you give it. I would recommend it for anyone who has an auto trans!
