hey whats up ya??i (was) haveing a good day today i just got my loudmouth welded on this afternoon and i was driving around enjoying my new exhaust and i decided to go WOT from a stop it luanched hard first then hear comes the almighty second gear chirping of the tires but instead the tranny decided to rev up then go it to second real soft so naturally i was pissed and decided to take my baby home . . .when i got it home i checked the fluid it was a really light red but the level was fine so im not low on fluid . . do you think if i go get my tranny serviced it will help the problem??im guessing its to late . .so if it turns out my tranny is crappin out on me im going to rebuild and put a stall and shift kit . . .which shift kit gives you the hardest shifts possible??? and what size of stall should i go with im plannin on getting a powerdyne s/c and 1.6rr those are the mods i have planned for now im thinkin maybe a lt4 hot cam . . .well thank you for takeing the time to read my log thread . . .1. what shift kit has the hardest shift???2.which stall should i go with????

 

If you want the hardest shift possible then go with a B&M.
TC has alot of differing opinions, if you have the money then go with a Vigilante or Yank, if you don,t have that kind of money then TCI or B&M would be a good choice.

 

I thought Trans-Go with the 3 washers installed had the hardest shifts. I've heard they will snap your neck if you don't have a torque converter installed at the same time. Actually shifts too hard and is kinda dangerous under hard throttle cause the car get's all squirly between shifts. Since a converter "softens" or make's our trannys shift "sloppy" the harder shift settings end up working out just perfect. Depending on what you plan on doing 2800rpm stall is about perfect for our cars. I'd recommend a Vigilante or Yank also, don't waste your time getting the cheaper models. You'll regret it later. Not that some people haven't had success with other brands, but those two are the best.

 

I have a TCI and have not regretted anything.
Its a matter of money if you ask me, are vigis and yanks good? Yes without question they are the best built and best performing but WAY too expensive for some of us.
There are quality converters out there that you don,t have to spend an arm and a leg on.
B&M will shift hard as hell everytime not like the Trans Go wich shifts hard under WOT.

 

whichshift kit shifts the hardest at any part of the throttle??which shift the hardest at wot and part throttle ??i got the shift germness on my pp3 but i dont notice any diffrence at wot on a part throttle . . . well thank you all for the replys

B&M shiftkit will shift hard all the time everytime it shifts.
Trans Go modulates the shifts so it shifts softer at part throttle and hard at WOT.
The hypertech just ups the line pressure to make the tranny shift harder, a shift kit will modify the valve body so the trans does it internally, I think this is the best way to do it.

 

B&M is self destructive!!! go with trans go! You will not regret it.

 

b&mkit shifts harder than trans go?/????????

 

I would think they both could shift hard its just that the B&M will shift hard everytime it shifts, part throttle full throttle it don,t matter. Trans Go is a little easier to live with cause it only shifts hard at WOT.

 

well i think im going to go with b&m because i want hard shifting all the time is 2.500 to much for a rebuilt performence 4l60e with a shift kit and stall aand it also has a 3 year 38,000 mile warrenty???thats what amco wants . . and other places want more and they only have a year warrenty

You can buy a brand new completely bulletproof tranny good to 700hp/700tq for like 2G's. Add a Used Vig. stall for $500 bucks like I did and there's your $2500. A much better route in my opinion. Already has all the upgraded internals so you'll never need a tranny ever again. Then you can sell yours if it's still in decent shape and get some of that money back.
