Pros And Cons Of A Shift Kit

[weedo_86]

Hi Guys,

I Know this has prolly been covered before but i cant seem to find it i just want to know the pros and cons of a shift kit eg. wear and tear etc.
any help much appreciated

i have one in my vs and i love it...spesh in the wet when i hit 2nd the rear end starts twitching its heaps fun but you have to be carefull in the wet but in the dry its fine

pros are quicker/harder shifts, can get the wheels spinning into 2nd (if you like that type of thing) one con would be it can be pretty rough if your just driving around everyday slowly as it changes gears really hard

but the pros outweight the cons

Does it wear any thing out quicker?

wouldnt the harder shift put more strain on the trans, tailshaft/joints, diff ,axles etc??? I wouldnt put a shift kit in unless i strengthened everything fron the trans back as the spinning into second and hard changes cant be good for those parts
