Alright, I've had a good squiz at the forums, and I havn't found any concrete answers that made me happy, so here's a pile of great questions that I'm hoping some mech-nerd can answer!
True or False:
1) a stage-2 B&M shift kit will cost me about $120 for the parts
2) a good mechanic can install this for me in about 3hrs
3) my gear changes will be sharper, and faster
4) gears will change almost instantly when I pull the stick down from 3rd to 2nd
5) with the stick in 2nd, my car will still launch from the lights in 1st
6) wear on my gearbox will remain a non-issue as long as I don't rip her into 1st doing 60kph
Short-answer
1) with the shift-kit, which gears change like a manual (going up and down). i.e. if I'm doing 50 in 2nd gear, still giving it a stack of throttle, and I pull up into 3rd, will it shift, or stay in 2nd where it belongs?
1) what are these corvette servos I hear people talking about
2) what do they do
3) how much do they cost
4) pros/cons versus price
God bless whoever answers these questions. :bow: I'd ask a mechanic, but they always seem to have some sort of vested interest in the answers they give.
