Shift Kit Video

As asked by DJDemon and Skandocious I have made a few videos of me driving to show the shift kit in action. I used mt digital camera so the sound is a bit off from the video. Just listen to the truck and watch the tach/speedo and youll see how it shifts. You can tell if im drivin hard or just normal. I think 1 or 2 are downshifts.

This thread came at the perfect time. Chris make sure you keep us up to date on if you do install it and what one you choose and what you think.

Those shifts do siound real nice and clean... Real snappy, no delay between when the RPM drops and the next gear catches, I like it. I think you've got me sold on a shift kit. Now if you guys can help me choose which one to get I'll order it this week and have it on by next weekend.

Hey Chris, what's with the clunking noise that I heard during a few of those shifts... That's not the transmission is it? Lol

Maybe send Paul a PM, he has the TransGo one, and see what he says. Even if its an AOD, its got to have most of the same parts.

skand,

i have the b&m shift kit and it kicks ***. i really really like it. i wish i got this sooner, the shifts are awesome. there were just two wires to attach. i know you wired up your remote start. if you can do that you can do this in under a half hour.

skand,

we must be on two different pages because i didnt need to dismantle my e40d at all. does anyone know the disadvantages to my shift kit vs. the kind that requires dismantling of the trans? im sure mine is inferior just based on the fact that it was so simple to install and it only cost 30 bucks. im really satisfied with it so far so i guess thats all that matters.

Yours in just an electronic mod. I dont know how it works, but with our kits its stiffer shift springs.

Skan, this is another option for a shift kit. This just replaces the valve body that's already on there and you don't have to worry about springs, check *****, etc.,. since it's just bolt in place. They cost a little more and they have a core, but this is probably the route I'm going with mine when I get the time/money to do it. I think Mike/Mr. M is running one of these on his truck, so you might ask him as well.

Also, this might help you as well.
