    G'day.
    I've got a vr v6 with 4l60e.
    I've purchased a kevlar belt.
    Am also going to purchase a stage 2 shift kit and corvette servo.

    Question one.
    Are these hard to install yourself?

    Question two.
    Is there anything else I should do to the box while I'm there?(other than a quick service)

    Any advice would be greatlt appreciated.

    Cheers.

    got the bits, anything else?

    Ok, so I've now got a b&m stage 2 shift kit, corvette servo, and .490 boost valve.

    Does any recommend anything else while I'm there?

    Could the instructions for the transgo kit be used for the b&m kit?

    Cheers

    There should be instructions with the B&M kit. Personally I would have stuck with a Transgo kit instead of a B&M.

    Why, what is the difference between the two?
    The reason I purchased the b&m was because for a lil more than the price of the transgo ($199) I got the b&m stage 2 and heavy duty kevlar band and sonnax .490 boost valve and corvette servo($212), so I thought the price I got was good.

    Is the b&m kit no good?
