What do you all recommend <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A physical shift kit will always be better than a "tune shift kit" and will help your tranny live longer.

mjdxtreme Posted March 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 what kind of shift kit would be a good one and what type of place can i go to get it installed I am not much of a gearhead that can do that type of work. I live in vegas and not sure where to go to look for a shift kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xero Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 contact zippy, the kit he supplies will put your "balls to the back of your throat" but only on the first 1-2 shift....they about 200 dollars or so, you would have to pm him for exact details. as for a place to get it installed you can go to any tranny shop, it should be more than 250 bucks to install and take about a day to do...

shadowsniper3006 Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 what is the diff. between a transgo and zippy's kit? Will a regular shift kit help all the shifts not just 1-2? Thanks Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellbents10 Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 No comparison in my opinion. The Zippy kit is a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xero Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 the zippy kit is more involved, it has the shift kit, acc. piston, and 3-4 servos too....i dont know the details offhand youd have to ask him, but its well worth the money IMO zippy, you can chime in any time buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowsniper3006 Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 ok so i have read a lot about the servo's.....but i have yet to figure what they are and what they do. what do the 3-4 servo's do? I have also read about the acc. piston being plastic in the stock tranny's and guys replacing it with a metal one. Is that what is included? Thanks much guys!

shadowsniper3006 Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 oh yeah...who is Zippy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 zippy is one of the clown's on here. the 3-4 servo is the very outside servo in the set and is designed to give more apply area to the contact surface of the servo as well as a much better sealing surface. that's the short description for it. as for the metal accumulator piston, i only include that if it's requested. i have yet to see someone with a kit i've put together have that crack. i've only seen that happen with the transgo kits that i'm aware of although they include the metal piston in the kits now to fix that issue.

shadowsniper3006 Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 well that answers those questions. I've also read that a couple of guys have had tranny trouble and decided not to put the servo's back in. Does it have a negitive effect on the tranns. I'm real gun shy when it comes to tranny's. I killed my daks tranny after putting in a 2400 stall. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
