Some transmission questions

[Craddock]

Ok, I'm thinking of asking my mom and dad for some transmission parts for my car this Christmas, and you guys probably know the answer to my questions.

First, I want to get a LSD. How would I go about getting one? Could I order one from Jeg's? I can't buy anything online.

Second, I was thinking about getting a TransGo Shiftkit, but I don't know where to get it either. Could I order this one from Jeg's?

A lot of guys talk about getting a better servo, so how much would that help me? Same information needed as for the above topics.


Finally, where would I get all of this installed? I can't think of any local places that are transmission specialists.

Hmm, jegs may have some of the parts your looking for, but ask your local autoparts dealer.. A lot of times they can get most anything. A servo will firm up shifts even more, and it's a good idea especialy if you get a good kevlar 2-4 band to go with it (Although not necessary). Installation you could really do yourself if you feel your up to it. The 2-4 servo and transgo shift kit are easy installs. You could do the internals too, but it's a lot more complex. Also have you thought about a good stall?

1. ebay has a ton of diffs, sometimes tacreations has them as well (depending on what gear ratio you currently have/plan to change to)

2. you can get a shift improver or a shift kit; the shift kit is what you want because it actually changes your valve body, as opposed to a shift improver which electronically changes your line pressure... not the best way to do it.

3. servos available on ebay for less than $15


you should be able to install these yourself; if not, ask around for a place that can. chances are somebody knows somebody.

How about this

Is that a true shift kit, or is it like the B&M kit?

Yeah, dont waste your money on those electronic things. You want something with a new VB plate.
