if i bought a shift kit, raised my shift pressure up in my sct, would it be too hard on my car? I have a b&m tranny cooler....but why is it so small?

I'm not sure why "it" is so small. You'll have to ask someone else about that one. But...

Maybe someone else could chime in here and say if this holds true for computer controlled "shift-kits", but harder shifting and higher transmission pressure is a good thing in several ways:

It causes less wear on the transmission due to less friction, less heat, and maybe a small increase gas mileage.

Tranny coolers don't need to be huge. If you're worried, invest in a tranny temp gauge. Make sure it stays cooler than the engine....< 150*F is best. With a shift kit and boosted pressures, you'll want to watch it closely.

FYI, make sure your external lines are in good shape as well, especially with aftermarket/soft lines. Mine blew off tonight on my way home. Nothing like synthetic red goo all over the engine compartment...when it's 15*F outside and dark. Not to mention how much money that was...

I'm not sure if it'd hurt the transmission bad, but like the 2 previous people said you'd have to watch it closely. Is it your daily driver? I would think that a shift kit would be enough just for that if you aren't doing any serious track racing.
