BenKey Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I would like to see more people doing them themselves. Wasn't there a how-to to go along with instructions? The amount of money some are getting charged kills me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Yeah I was thinking of doing a how-to when I did mine, but you would need a whole family of how-tos, one for the Zippy kit, another for the transgo kit, another for the servos. The TransGo kit is *supposed* to come with an instructional video although I never got one with my purchase from JAG Performance; but instead Joe did share his cel phone number! Mr. P.

Mr. P. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> TransGo has two different lines...one directed to the do-it-yourself consumer and one directed towards the technician, which also explains why they have two package variations. The shift kits we sell are those for the technician and therefor do not come with a video and is why we don't advertise it being sold with one. In place of the video we give you Joe's cell number.

Just so everyone reading this is clear - I am not displeased at all with JAG Performance or in the products I purchased (the opposite, I love it); the topic discussed here was making a how-to on shift kit installation and I was only speaking to the point that I know there is already a installation video available from TransGo for their shift-kit.
