    so last night i was installing one of those B&M shift kits in my c-4 but some of the wording in the instructions has me stumped:hmmm:. the are several smal parts that you remove to put in plugs/bearing.....ect, but it says to install the small parts that you take out to put the bearing/Plug in "as removed"(two small shaft thingies in the valve body and the plate that covers them) dose this mean i put them back in they way i took them out or does it mean i leave them out, im sure u have to put those two small shafts back in but i just want to be sure. it also says to remove the accumilator valve and do somthin with the spring thats in it. it said to take the pin out and it should push right out but it didnt so i put the pin back in and left it alone instead of trying to force it out.

    Really need some help with this:hmmm:

    Following Instructions..

    I'd suggest you call B&M Tech.Line .. They should have someone there to help. If not .. maybe someone on the forum installed the exact type of kit and could help. Wish you success.:) Cometized

    Don't send me a PM or Email - it will be a waste of time.
    The B&M kit is junk as far as I am concerned and I would not recommend it for any C4. The last direct hands-on experience that I have had was 30+ years ago and it was junk then. From allthe complaints (from my customers and others) I believe they are still junk.
    Other than that I am sure that I can't help with any kit from B&M - other than advising you to get another valve body and install the TransGo kit in it. I have never heard anyone complain about them and I used to use them until I engineered my own mods which go just a tad (big difference) further than the TransGo kits do.

    So, in other words, there is no help available:naughty:. Just opinions.
