shift kit

[+throw back+]

what is the difference between the TRANS GO shift kit and the B&M shift kit.
they say the TRans GO is a "true shift kit"...what exactly does this mean, and really which is better? there is obviously a price difference as trans go shifters are about $140 and B&M is about $40. LET ME KNOW

Re: shift kit

Get a trans go off ebay and it's a lot cheaper ;)

I'm about to get mine installed with my rear-end stuff (3.73s/LSD vs the current 3.08/open differential)

Re: shift kit

The B&M is an "electronic" shift kit for newer transmissions controlled by the cars computer. Many performance "chips" , programmers and tuning software do the exact same thing but add all the other goodies. The B&M ONLY affects the shift firmness and not the shift points. The good thing is the B&M can be turned on and off at your wish. It does not shift as hard as a Mechanical shift kit.

A mechanical shift kit ( like the Trans go) installs inside the automatic transmission and affects the actual fluid flow. It can not be turned on or off but is more affective than the B&M.

It is your choice. But if you are going to get OR have a chip or a programmer I would go with the mechanical.
