I installed a B&M Trans pac. It kicks but. Churps second on command.  :burnout:
I did everything in the kit but the "Any gear at any speed" mod.
The install was easy with the trany out of the car.
This was the best change to my car so far.

NZ,
  I just looked at my paper work, and all it said was "shift kit".  :dontknow: I didn't know Transgo made 2 different types.

Yip they do, I have no idea how they are boxed though?

Check the link: http://www.drivetrain.com/transgoshiftkits.html Chryslers kits are way down the bottom.  :thumbs:


You'll see it has 3 kits!  :eeksmall: :laughing:

NZ,
  Reading those descriptions, I have the TF-1. The neat thing is they are adjustable. Basically, they delay the shift up to the next gear. Then when it does shift, it snaps your neck some.  :burnout:

Awesome, thanks Mike. So longer revs and as soon as you slap it the bands are basically just hovering there eh!  :D
Once shifted it's already there because it was waiting.  :grinyes: Sounds good....I think the TF-1 kit sounds great but I want some real hard racing sounding shifts... ;D We have a motorway behind our house some and I always hear this one V8 going hard every so often and his transmission is an absolute dream, the shifts don't sound Auto there like 3 gears in one, very fast, crisp and quick!  :drool: :burnout:
