Default Quick Q about shift kit

I know the transgo shift kit will make the tranny stronger, but is there a SOTP difference as well? Right now I'm not really worried about the tranny breaking (see sig ), so I was hoping it would make it faster too (I would think so with firmer shifts).

The shifts will be quicker and firmer. The firmerness is dependent upon how many washers are installed.

Have you considered a servo upgrade while you're at it?

I would like to, but they sound like they are hard to install.

you have to take them out when doing the shift kit so you might as well upgrade them while your there, and a hardend seperater plate is a good idea too
