do any of you guys have an automatic shift kit?? i was thinking about getting one but i dont want to spend $200 on it until i hear from some people that have one.

I thought about getting the B&M but they dont have one for a 2003 so i might go with this one...unless its crap

Get one, it will nicly help your accelleration. PM hotrodsnbooz (a site administrator) he has a V6 with one, and a torque converter swap, he can give you a lot of good info on one.

 

dont shift kits cost around 115 bucks

 

Ya but if you don't install it yourself it will cost an extra $200-$300 in labor.

 

I'd pay to have it installed, a transmission is not something you want to F up due to lack of experiance.

 

Would a shift kit reduce the jump in acceleration and make it more gradual? What I mean is...from a dead stop you floor it and for a split second or so it isn't accelerating much, then it just jumps all the way to high RPM's. I'm sure you know what I mean.

 

thanks guys....but does b&m make one for a 2003? cuz i havent seen one....the one i saw was 99-02

 

No, it improves efficiency and aggressiveness during shifts. A higher stall torque converter helps with what you're talking about. A shift kit is kind of like a short shifter for manuals, only they improve performance more by making the shifts more firmer which reduces lag during shifting, and causes the speedo to jump a little more after the shift.

 

the one on ebay is way way overpriced. you can get a transgo for 115 or so from summitracing. you need one for the 4R70W tranny. i would buy it.

 

well id like to get one but right now im spending about 500 to fix the motor i basically blew up
