If someone has an answer to this question, please post. Maybe this is all my car needs!

Hey guys, I'm also transferring your question to the "transmission talk" section, so be sure to check there for answers!

A shift improver kit is easy to install, they come with pretty thorough instructions, and will make a huge difference. I suggest that you go with B&M, Art Carr, or another well known manufacturer. I tried a no name once, the shifts were ok, but not like the B&M I put in a tranny in the same car. (cooler line blew, guy kept driving, tranny died,)

BTW I believe the el cheapo kit the gut brought me the first time was a "No-Yo-Yo." I seen them around before, but wasn't impressed.

I may need a shift kit soon also... tranny's starting to slip a little (I think it was.. car's stored now). How much, roughly, do the B&M and the Art Carr kits cost?

Thx

Dave

I think i've seen them from 30-50.00 . Iam going to need it after this winter

If its starting to slip, its only gonna get worse..

 

[crazygn]

i think i'll get it rebuilt in the winter, rebuilt tran, bigger turbo, injectors, and bigger stall. And maybe i can learn more about these cars so i dont blow it up as much.

All the "shift-kits" I've seen for these cars are jokes.....take it to someone who know 200r4's and you won't be disappointed.

If you want it to shift hard everytime go with the B&M, The Art-Karr kit shift hard when needed. I had the B&M and switched over to the Art-Karr. But a Trans shop can also modify you trans to shift the way you want.

When I overhauled my tranny, I used all Level 10 parts, shift kit, etc. Seems to work very well, good tech support.

I installed a Kenne Belle shift kit and am very satisfied. Hits good and hard.

 

[crazygn]

Do you know the cost of the shift kit and did you put it in your self.

I have the reciept at home as I am at work...but I don't believe it was over 100 bucks I think around 70. I had a friend put it in and asked him if it was hard? It comes with step by step instructions..I never liked jacking with tranny's......he said it was really no problem. I sure did like the results. My car not real fast but will grab the street going into 3rd gear no problem.

I put one in a tranny in about 1.5 hours, at dusk, on a picnic table, with minimal tools, and no previous experience. Go for it anybody can pull this one off.

Thanks guys i think i'll put it in when i put my stall in, i did one in my turbo 350 i had in the fire bird when it was in the car but i dont think i'll try that again.
