    Shift kit

     



    I just got my transmission painted and I want to install a shift kit in it. I still want it to be drivable but just a little more aggressive. It's gonna be a street only car. Any suggestions, I'd prefer to buy from Summit.

    I installed a shift kit by B&M. took me about 45 minutes and I am very happy with the results. Under full pedal i catch 1st. 2nd, and 3rd. And my car weighs almost 2 tons.

    i brought the B&M shift improver kit. It has directions for street or towing. Very easy instructions. I installed into a 71 th350.

    I've used those before and liked them a lot. Really firms up your shifts. Don't lose those the little BBs in there!
