Re: TRANSCO KIT (ROD BROWN)
:bs I don't know WHO you spoke with but that's NOT the case at all.
The Transgo kit installed is probably the best bang for the buck for A4's out there.The kit is a remarkable improvement in your shifts,especially if you have an aftermarket converter.
The shift kit costs about $109.00 and is available at several CF vendors. I got mine at www.theLAPD.com from Shawn.The kit has 3 settings-street,street/strip and race.The kit should be installed by a QUALIFIED transmission technician,not just anybody that hasn't installed one before.The install should cost $150-$200.
Search the C5 Tech Discussions for ALL the related psts on this subject for more info on this subject.MANY have installed this kit with great results.
Including me! :chevy

Well, the Transgo kit is fantastic. Mine doesn't "bang" into gear. It is a very fast, crisp shift. It'll plant you in the seat. $600.00 seems way too high. As stated above, $109.00 for the kit, and around $200.00 for the install.

If I get this shift kit will I still need to go with the powerloader II to get the hesitation from between shifts to stop? :confused:

Transgo recommends that - YES - you "should" remove Torque Management via some sort of programming...

Thanks, I was afraid of that :mad I thought I might get lucky since I have read of a few problems with different software, Mine is a daily driver and I don't know if I can risk having her down because of software problems :(
