B&M SHIFTPLUS+ ELECTRONIC SHIFT IMPROVER
I spotted this on the shelf at a local auto parts store and couldn't resist taking it home. The install looks simple except for the fact I'm stuck at work and my Vette is at home. Anyone used this thing and if so what should I expect. I've had regular B&M shift kits in my cars but never this electronic type.

I had one in my 95 coupe, with the 4L60E transmission. Position 1 was just like stock. Position 2 made the shifts firmer, and position 3 chirped the tires going into 2nd at light throttle openings. At WOT with the ASR off in position 3, it would light the tires for about 20 feet and throw the car sideways, pretty cool if you are into such things. :eek: It was a simple install, and worked as advertised. The great thing was that it could be switched back to stock with the flip of a switch. Have fun!

Re: B&M SHIFTPLUS+ ELECTRONIC SHIFT IMPROVER (Mark's Ruby)
Worked as advertised :cheers: Install was simple except for the fact that B&M supplied female terminal ends for the snap-on splice sections and they required male ends :confused: One store run and $2 later it all came together. The only thing I dislike is if I leave it in position three and shift from park to drive (I only use overdrive on the highway) it slams into gear like a Pitbull on a short chain...... :chevy
DRAWBACK: Only got to use it for one night because it beat down my
rear GSC's :boxing :D

Re: B&M SHIFTPLUS+ ELECTRONIC SHIFT IMPROVER (GusBustamanteJr)
The closest item I found was a shift control available in mid-america's catalog but it sounds like it only controls the shift into overdrive that I believe occurs around 45-47. I had the regular B&M shift kit that installs in the tranny itself in my previous car a 92 Z28 with the 5.7 TPI and it was nice. They both do basically the same thing except the electronic one electricly changes the trannys hydraulics while the other one mechanicly changes it. I don't know if you've driven a car with a shift kit but to me its a must for an automatic I've had them in three of my past cars including a 77 caprice classic 4 door :lol: This is the number for B&M product support I'm sure they can help you out.
