Turbo, with that trans kit you put in, what kind of differences did you notice? Good, bad, otherwise? does it stiffen up the shifting at all? I've noticed already with my TRX that the trans shifts the same as my 02 and 04 did (they both had autos). It's all mushy and feels uncontrolled. If there was a quick and inexpensive fix for it, I would consider a trans kit.

I'd say I'm looking for something that makes the transmission more responsive in it's shifts and not so unpredictable when I slam the throttle down, like it takes a second or two like it can't make up its mind what it wants to do. Ugh, I'm just sooooooo used to having control of my gears! [&:]

Thanks

Yes, it made the shifts firmer and a little more predictable.

Nice! Do you mind if I asked what it ran you and where to get one? Thanks
