A corvette servo would be a good cheap addiction to the shift kit

In short they change how hard they shift and what revs/speed they change at Stage 3 is normally manualised in the fact you have to change it between the gears or it will not shift up or down

stage 2 will hold gear even at max revs. and combined with a Corvette servo gives hard and firm shifts.

also apparently slow's clutch wear...


Stage 3 Shift Kit is completly manualised auto. you HAVE TO shift it from 1-2-3-D and downshift to D-3-2-1. to stop....


go with stage 2. buy a TRANSGO shift kit.... (try get it off ebay cause they are cheap as chips compared to some auto placces ebay want $219 and tranny mechanic will want 300 area)

ohk thanks cheers for the info that helps:thumbsup:

also should my auto be running perfect before putting shift kit on?cos mine isnt perfect just wondering will it kill it or possible fix it???

And around how much would a mechanic charge to have the kit and corvette servo put in just a estimate so i have a idea..

 

[ephect]

you should at least get a service and get it checked and any parts that are worn replaced also, that will ensure its going to perform at its best with the shift kit

costs have been posted by members on here from $250-400 if you supply the kit and 500 for supply and install

I have heard that if your auto isn't in good condition then a shift kit will just kill it quicker, and that they are only good in the long term on a box that is in decent condition. Can't say I'm 100% sure on that, maybe somebody else could clarify.
