Shift Kit Help

[blueoval]

I don't think there is any performance advantage having one. It wont make your car faster nor will it provide more power. It does however give the car a more solid/confident feel when changing between gears under high load. For those who indulge in spirited driving and/or track days, the shift kit adds to the experience and enjoyment instead of sloppy, grandpa style gear changes which the BTR's are known for.

The trans cooler was fitted to my car as a bit of added insurance seeing as I was going to put more than stock power through the standard internals as well as harder driving style. It won't bullet proof the box definitely not, but it has bought some time for the box itself before I choose to decide to either rebuild the box stronger or go manual.

If you're intention to buy a shift kit is to 'get some gain out of it', then look at it in the light of 'driving enjoyment/experience' rather than any performance gain or longevity.

The bottom line is, if you are that worried about damage to the gearbox or other components of the vehicle itself due to this little mod and money is too tight, DON'T DO IT.
