Default shift kit question

just wanted opinions on shift kits for a z28. I was looking at b &m cause it's cheap, but there has to be a reason the transgo is 110.

transgo is a lot better from what I hear, I'm thinking of picking one up soon

also the transgo comes with an instructional install tape. supposed to be fairly comprehensive

too bad you don't have the tranny cooler cause that sounded like a sales pitch

but from what I hear a tranny cooler isn't neccisary for just a
basic shift kit, actually I hear the transgo improves fluid flow and
lowers wear and tear. but then again with a $1000 - $2000 price
on a tranny rebuild better safe than sorry

yea, if your going to be doing any sort of aggressive driving a tranny cooler is a good thing to have. and also a tranny temp setup

it was kindof a sales pitch...i bought it. get the transgo fo-sho and put 3 washers in the 1-2 accumulator = hard shifts. screw the b&m.
