what do you guys think about this ? TRANSGO SKŪ 4T65E TRANSMISSION SHIFT KIT (97-UP) its on ebay new for 43$

 

Transgo is the prefered shift kits for our cars. I would say go for it, ive only heard good things about them. The ZZP shift kit is the one ive heard terrible things about >_>;......Or just get a tune ! :]

 

That's what I thought , had my car tuned after a few mods, supercharger , ic, cai , exhaust , headers , t stat etc.... 2 weeks my stage 3 heads and xp hot cam are goin in so I will need a new dyno tune not to familiar with these... I originally thought a tune was pretty much the higher priced option

 

The dyno tune will SET your shift points more accurate than a shift kit will. A shift kit basically firms up your shifts to make it less floatty, however a dyno tune firms up your shifts, and if the tuner is good enough, elevates your shifts. I personally went dyno due to the extra tuning, and the fact i could get more mpg out of my car and more power with better shifts.

 

Shift kit is a good idea. When making the tune compensate for the shift kit you add crazy line pressures etc which is not as good on a trans compared to a shift kit. Tune for higher shift points is good but not firmness and quickness of shifts.

Talk to dave at triple edge performance on this he is wealth of knowledge.

 

Just make sure you're down on firm/hard shifts cuz I personally don't like it I thought I would but in all honestly my driving style has changed and a shift kit is more appropriate for an aggressive driver. I'm more mellow now, though I also have the kit at its 3rd setting aka the firmest option so maybe switching to the softest setting might help but I'm too lazy to do the swap.
