Hey guys I have an auto 00 mustang and I want to know what a shift kit does

 

+1...are 99-00 same as 01-04 kits?

 

Holds 1st, 2nd, 3rd to any rpm. Wide open 3-4 shifts; Holds 4th at high speed. Pretty much just gives you firmer shifts. good buy. the kits for a 4R70W tranny

 

I have one and knowing what I do now...It would have been the first mod I did!

It really helped out that slug of an auto tranny. The shifts are very confident now!

DO IT!

 

how much $$

do you have to have it installed??

 

you could just buy a tuner and do the same thing, but nothing beats a true kit

 

I got the shift kit (TransGo) off ebay for like $60 but I think you can get them from summitracing.com for like $100.

They say you can do it yourself but dont! too much to screw up. Have it done by a tranny shop that has done them before. Mine cost about $250 to get installed. It was well worth it.

 

cars suck[sm=bangbang.gif]

 

Is it true that a tuner will do the exact same thing? I ask because I KNOW i'm going to be buying a tuner and if this is the case than i'll obviously just hold off on the shift kit because it would be useless. Unless of course a shift kit is better because it actually gives tighter shifts. (doesnt a tuner just remedy shift points and eliminate governer and rev limiter?)

 

Cars = $$$

Kronik, I feel that a Shift kit is better because it actually replaces stock tranny parts with stronger aftermarket parts allowing longer life and better resistance. While you can gain similar results with the tuner, its still a stock tranny.

Booze has both and I have heard him said knowing what he knows now, he would just get the tuner but I personally am happy with the kit and still plan to get a tuner in the next couple month. May want to ask Booze via PM though.
