Stats is tough, as the class moves at twice the speed the teacher teaches at. She doesn't keep my attention, and I get bored too easily.

So, I'm struggling. Luckily I found a couple of people that are helping me learn it.

Yeah that torq shift is a nice trans for sure!


Another reason I am glad I spent the money and went with a BTS!

I don't think I will miss any downshifts.

Yep, I had mine (old one) rebuilt and told him to install a shift kit to help with the sluggish shift from third to fourth............nothing they could do. It helped hold it in third a little longer but still was a little sluggish.

All I could think while reading this was BS.

Weird, mine shifts just fine in all gears, maybe a bit harsh in stock tune but the full tugger kit with pump mods and the .500 shift modulator valve will do that. It is a lot better since having my chip reflashed too. Still should have gone with a BTS........
