if ur just drivin normal it wont yank ya through the gears...if ur gettin on it it will tho...right now i have just a sniper tune and its smooth sailin if im cruisin but when i step on it it will yank ya. i did recently order my jmod valve body too but i wont be puttin that in till later december

when you say shift kit do you mean like a ratchet shifter?

no a shift kit is a modification to the transmission internals... where you change out the springs drill some new holes for the fluids and enlarge other holes for the fluid to pas more easily... also there is a tiny bit of work done to the ball bearings that are inside the tranny... i believe they are replaced with new slightly smaller ones... but i cannot be sure...

the ratchet shifter your thinking of is ... ratchet or gate shifters - Transmissions and Drivetrain - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Ratchet shifters move one gear position at a time. Push it forward or pull it back and it only moves one position. You need to ratchet it again to move into the next position. Starting all the way back in first gear, you push the shifter forward into second. When you release the shifter, the handle comes back into a neutral position waiting for the next shift. You push it ahead again and you're in third gear and the handle comes back for the next gear. So it's always push, release, push, release.


Ratchet shifters are not common in a street car. You're ratcheting it back and forth through the gears and need to rely on an indicator to tell you what gear you're in because the handle is always in a center neutral position. A gate shifter can be moved through the gears quicker depending on the gate design and you can easily look at where the handle is to know what gear position you're in.

I like the ratchet shifter in my race car. The handle is always in the same position. When I shift, I slam the handle forward with no worry about going into the next gear. Actually that's not really true. I have a 2 speed tranny. I launch in first, slam into second around the 1/8 mile mark then push it forward into neutral after I cross the finish line. There's an interlock that needs to be pushed preventing me from pushing it into reverse be accident even though nothing would happen anyway. I have no reverse gear unless the transbrake button is pushed at the same time.


hopefully these will clear some things up if you still are unsure on the differences please feel free to ask
