Re: Shift Kits?
I don't have any personal experience, but my dad has been happy with the 2 B&M shift kits he has installed.

Re: Shift Kits?
B&M or Fairbanks will treat you just fine.
The only suggestion I have is to buy the best pan gasket they offer and do not over torque your pan bolts - Oh do not use any form a gasket on the pan - it will cause a leak - trust me !

Re: Shift Kits?
I don't have experience with the current kits but I would suggest NOT getting any "race" or high level of change or you will get a jolt at every shift at any speed.That gets old pretty fast IMHO.

Re: Shift Kits?
i've had the B&M transpak in several cars i've owned . it costs a few bucks more than the shift improver kit but is well worth it. a shift kit is one of the cheapest "feel it in the seat of your pants" upgrades you can make. i guarantee you wont be disapointed with whatever choice you make
