Default Shift kits??

I hear alot about the trans-goHD and HD2, Are those the only shift kits you guys have used??? I had a B&M shift kit in my 94 rcsb, w/a 4l60e, and it was a HARD shifting tranny. Just wondering, I am wanting a shift kit, and your opinions will be greatly appreciated

thanks guys,
Brian

B&M don't hold a candle to Transgo's products. I have used the HD2 and it is a great kit. I have used B&M's Transpak and Shift Improver Kit and they just don't compare to the Transgo in my opinion.

With any shift kit, don't set it up to shift hard. Jolting shifts bust up the "hard" parts in 4L60-E transmissions. It causes more problems than I have time or space to list...

A transgo kit will only shift firm under hard acceleration. I had the B&M on my last truck also, it shifted hard going through the parking lot at the shopping center. Hated that thing. I have transgo now and love it.
