Auto Shift Kit

I was quoted $400 to put a shift kit in my car. I am getting a Turbo and wondering if this is really a necessity? What will I gain or lose?

It makes the car shift faster and more positively. Typically either its either a re-valved body or new gaskets and opening up of some fluid passages. Usually also upgrade the torque converter with it. That is... if I'm thinking of the right thing.


D you're not talking about a Hurst/Rachet-style shifter right?

D just outta curiousity, which shop did u get the quote from? I know a few of the owners around here and maybe could get u a better deal. If anything u should gain a little in the times. I think shift kits are upgradet the transmissions for heavier loads. I'd definitely get one. You'll probably help the wheels to hook up faster, hence better trac, and better times.

Btw, those are just opinions, not actual facts, if they re right,cool. if not please correct me.

That should be sweet w/ a turbo. I had a shift kit in my 89 v6 blazer and it chirped second every time.
