Do you have a shift kit in your car? Have you ever seen one in person? Have you ever assembled one or are you just going by a picture or what you heard?

These transmissions can take abuse. Maybe there's something else that is giving people problems that has nothing to do with the inside parts of the transmissions. There are countless members with 200,000 miles on these supposed weak trannys. I myself am at 190,000 with the last 15,000 being boosted. Not a problem. These transmissions are not weak.

Far more than the people who are running any nitrous, supercharged, or turbo Maximus. Almost everyone (in their right mind) running that stuff all have modified their AT to cope with it. So no...these transmissions are not stout.

What are these modified transmissions you speak of. What modifications are they making enlighten me please.
