Possible Shift Kit

86gter · January 9th, 2008, 07:29 PM

i have the 86gt with an aod in it and its a little sloppy shifting. before i do a fluid and filter change i may wanna buy a mild shift kit for it. i am hoping it will make the shifting a little tighter and not seem to just be long between shifts.

any recommendations on what i would look into buying without having to swap out the converter too?

thanks

a stall converter would be a good idea...shift kit wise...trans go makes a really good kit that you can get on street or race mode...race mode is really firm shifts and higher shift points...b&m also makes a kit but havent tried that...

86gter · January 9th, 2008, 08:36 PM

thanks i look into the transgo

Speedstang302 · January 9th, 2008, 08:43 PM

i think its there transpak kit? not 100% sure

+1 on the transgo. I had it and loved it. I know Summitracing sells it for sure

yeah its transgo

i bought mine through jegs...wtf does everyone have against jegs...everyone goes summit..yeah summits nice and all...but havent had any problems with jegs..and shipping is quicker

jam77 · January 9th, 2008, 09:40 PM

doesnt b&m make a fluid that they claim to firm up the shifts on an auto? I just remember reading something , anyone have any experience with it??

White Thunder · January 9th, 2008, 09:43 PM

maybe but theres no way just fluid is going to replace a shift kit

jam77 · January 9th, 2008, 09:51 PM

Yeah I know that was just curious

White Thunder · January 9th, 2008, 09:55 PM

Speedstang302 · January 9th, 2008, 10:45 PM

that kit will work, but a transgo one is better

nba1341 · January 10th, 2008, 03:39 PM

+1 to the trans go it makes a world of difference after installing

SALIV8 · January 10th, 2008, 06:30 PM

i use jegs too, sometimes jegs is cheaper too. BUT, jegs customer service blows and summit's is always topnotch.

Speedstang302 · January 10th, 2008, 09:10 PM

yeah thats kinda a plus with summit...
