id look into it, if the shifters werent so ugly[:'(]
What does a shift kit have to do with how the shifter handle looks like?
the only ones i ever see are the ones with the big rubber boot with the gigantic angled "T" handle. unless you can show me a picture of a shifter kit for an auto that uses the stock shifter

He is referring to a shiftkit in the tranny, not the actual shifter(B&M, Hurst...) Its basically a way to rebuild the valve body, so you can shift with very quick and effective response from the tranny.

Trans-go is the best shift kit on the market.....it cost me $420.00 to get it installed...which included the 9 quarts of mercon v that was needed....It took him 5 hours. You have to drill holes in the valve body and he replaced literally EVERY THING....This is the greatest mod i have done to my car besides gears

I've always heard that shiftkits will ruin your transmission over time, any word on this?

Excuse me for my ignorance. You can get a shift kit for an Automatic? What exactly will the benefits be from that? I have an 03 gt w/ an automatic tranny.

from trans-go site: Short firm shifts with class. Holds 1st-2nd-3rd at any RPM. Backshifts at your command. . Reduces the chance of band failure and shudder

...Shifts are super quick and responsive....i no longer have lag in between shifts...The shifts are firm and dont slip....The car has instant power!
