Shift Kit

[Guest JCarlton21]

I was just wondering what a good shift kit would be to put in my auto 350 1970 Monte Carlo, not sure what rear it has in it or anything if that matters. But just wondering what a good one would be, where to buy it, and how much would it be to get it installed, or how much work would it be for me to install it?

 

thanks guys, new member, looks like a great site..just got my first monte 2 days ago

ANOTHER MICHIGANDER!!! WELCOME!!!!

 

check Jegs and Summit, if you never been in a trans, I would recommend talking with a local trans shop

 

where in Michigan are you?

ive done a shift impover kit from B&M for a turbo 400 got it from Summit. best way to go at it is with the trans out and upside down so you dont have check balls falling out.

No pun inteneded here but "The best Bang" for your buck would be the inexpensive b&m shift kit that comes in the envelope type package, I think I paid about $35 for it....even with my 10in. 3000-3500 stall the shifts stay firm just casually driving around and then when i'm into it I leave a patch between 1st and 2nd and if the weather is above 70 on asphault I even get a chirp from 2nd to 3rd.

start simple!

put an adjustable vaccum modulator in it, and turn that puppy UP! that's what I ran in my TH350 and it would bark the tires goin into 2nd no problems. :>

I second the cheap B&M one. Great deal.

btw.. the adjustable modulator is only about $11 at your local parts store
