I am getting into a 2800 Midwest TC and B&M Supercooler. Supposedly the shifts get loose with adding a high stall converter. Some people add Transgo's to help stiffin up shifts and strengthen a few components. The only thing is I also hear that some shift kits can kill your transmission. What do you guys think? Add one or not?

go with the transgo! i have heard from a few tranny guys to veer away from the b&m. i believe u will regret not putting the transgo in after u drive it a few days without a kit in there!

 

Yea, it seems to be either a really good or really bad idea depending on who you talk to. Any other comments appriciated.

i believe that a shift kit actually helps the tranny last longer by increasing the line pressures to make firmer shifts and causing less tranny slip which is what kills them.

 

and why exactly should you stay away from the B@M?

 

if my car has 160000 on it 95 TA and i have a rebuilt tranny being put in it should i put in a shift kit too or will i just end up breakin more parts in the long run with the harder shifts??/

 

like any mod done to these cars theres always somthing that will fail in the long run

ie alot of power , rear end wont last or tranny

u get the drift

dustin id say do it , i got mine for 100 shipped brand new never opened, so im sure u can find some kind of deal

 

I bought one for $65 shipped, then sold it, and now I wish I still had it.

I have seen alot of people using them on this board with their B&M's and stall's and they seem to work good. For every 10 who like it 1 or 2 might say its no good.

Perhaps I'll have to reinvest in one, not many people like the added slushiness of shifts after adding higher stalls.
