stage 3 is full manual it wont change up or down by itself you have to drive it like a manual

I don't know what brand or stage my ''shift kit'' was in my vs clubby but it had corvette servos and upgraded clutches and other stuff but i hated driving around town.
Would chirp second just trying to take off from the lights on light throttle and was very annoying getting whiplash 20 times on the way to work ...
Im so much happier with my manual and it goes better and uses less fuel
Win win

transgo is the best it has more things in it than the B&M kit.

transgo is the way to go..

stage 3 as said will smash you around... not many want this in a daily for obvious reasons..

stage 2 holds gears to any rev when manualy shifting.. but drives fine when left in drive.. just a bit firmer

cool i'll go with the transgo... i got quoted 600 installed wit corvette servo. at a trans mechanic. this right???

i thought it would be a bit cheaper? thanks guys

id say 600 including parts is fair.. the corvette servo can be done in under an hour easy for anyone thats done it before

What does the corvette servo do better over the stock item??

pulls second gear harder and faster making less slip on the change making you accelerate faster
