Default 700R4 Shift Kit installed

I just had my transmission removed to replace the main pump seal. Since it had to come out of the car I decided why not try a shift kit. B&M 70239 stage 1. Wish I had done this after buying the car ! So much fun and nothing negative to say. The real change is from 1st to 2nd firm and tight. Less slip from one gear to the next.

This B&M kit is my first and I have to add the installer 202 Transmissions. Both in my opinion get credit for good work. I highly recommend both. So if you live in Maricopa County and need transmission work give them a call.

Now all you need is a custom chip to change the torque converter lockup settings. This way it won't be locked up at 40 mph when you try to pass or accelerate. This equals instant throttle response.
