trans kit for 79 vette?
Hey i have seen transmission kits listed from 29.99 up to 100.00....i was just wondering if there is really that much difference or are you paying for a name brand?...... and just wondering what other peeps would recommend?

with the higher priced kits you usually get more complete kits and better quality parts, and sometimes better instructions. The key is buying from a reputable company and checking the parts list and description to see if the kit will do what you need. dont buy any generic kits and expect much.

Since it seems to be auto shift kits you're talking about, and not entire manual or auto tranny rebuild kits, have some experience here. I've done both B&M and Trans-Go shift kits, and feel the Trans-Go kits are a bit more advanced. TH-350 & 400 kits install pretty quick. For 700R4 tranny's, pack a lunch, dinner, and have a DVD/TV availible.
