Default Shift Kit

Well idk if anyone remembers but somewhat of a while back (a few months or so) I had a 3800 performance shift kit installed and had it on stage 2 of three. Well after being somewhat dissapointed I had it upgraded to stage 3.... I love it haha. Full throttle from first to second the tires chirp and from 2-3 and 3-4 is still shifting hard. Also just city driving shifting around 3-4k rmp it shifts pretty darn hard. I couldnt be anymore happier and just thought I'd share haha. I would deffinetly recommend this to someone who's looking for a shift kit and wants those tires chirpping
It is a little steeper in price compared to the zzp kit and though Ive never tried the zzp kit so i cant say if its good or bad but i can say the 3800 performance kit is GREAT. On the instructions it says stage 3 is for race use only and will be uncomfortable for daily use. Thats not true at all if you are looking for a good performing shift kit so dont let the instructions intimidate you!

Cool, glad to know your happy with the performance of the Stage 3, sounds like you DRIVE your car.. Wish there were more Monte owners out here who would DRIVE their car. To many Mustangs, Chargers etc. always trying to eat us up... Drive it like you stole it...

Yeah, Ive smoked a few mid '00 mustang v6s and even a few v8s due to kids thinking there Dom Torreto hahahaha. And I think its somewhat of a bad habit actually DRIVING the car. Killing my mpgs hahaha

I actually didnt do it haha. I had my mechanic do it while getting an oil change. He told me though that it was not difficult at all and that I couldve done it with no prob. I did have to get a new filter and I didnt ask how that instal went
