Default Shift kit.

You guys think it would be ok to put a shift kit in a 46re with about 100K on the trans? Or should I just forget about it?

Thanks,
Cheat.

They tend to work in both as I have seen. Are you sure it won't work in the 46RE? Both the transgo and the TCI I have had said they work in both the RH and RE.

That doesn't make a bit of sense on why it would do auto in the 46RH and would be full manual in the 46RE but who knows. What brand is it?

If it was me i would look into the SURE CURE KIT from Sonnax, It adresses common problems with the tranny. Better to address the probs then start new ones

The sure cure fixes the problems but doesn't noticeably firm up the shifts. A shift kit will fix the problems but has a firmer shift or a really hard shift like my truck.

+1 I just installed the sure cure kit and it wasn't as hard as it's made out to be. I'm still in the process of rebuilding my tranny so I'll be sure to keep you posted.
