I found this forum when attempting to learn about the benefits of a shift kit. I have read several posts which have been helpful in making a decision.

I have a 01 Expedition with 88K miles and is currently having a rebuilt transmission installed. I am seriously considering a shift kit being added during the installation of the transmission but am concerned about how hard the shifts are after installation.

The primary driver of the Expedition is my wife in transporting the kids around town. I have driven a car and truck only a couple of times with shift kits installed and like the feeling of having extra power, but are the shifts too hard for a family vehicle?

Any insight is appreciated. I need to make a decision as soon as possible.

 

Shift kits usually have options when installing them to fine tune how hard of a shift you end up with.
