Just got a B and M shift kit from Summit, was wondering if anybody is using one? Not many pieces for the money. I was thinking of using the stage 1 kit they call it heavy duty and towing since the car is a cruiser and didn`t want it too jerky. Would appreciate any imput. Also it looks like it should be fairly easy to install. THANKS!
I've used them before.I always liked the stageII.I want to feel that thing shift going down the road.They are very easy to do.
I have a stage 4 homemade shift kit in mine. It is nice and comfy on the road, and only jerks yer head back when you have your foot into it. Instructions are here if you want to see basically what the shift kit is changing. It isn't much. http://mmb.maverick.to/showthread.php?t=29770&highlight=homemade+shift+kit
Don't use a kit that does away with the plate between the valve body and and base. it causes a lot of leaks and problems There is a home made kit around the net that is supposed to work very well. Might be what scooper77515 is talking about clint
The homemade kit I use just drilled out a couple of the holes in that plate, but didn't do away with it.
A lot of people have had problems with the B&M kits for the C4. I learned a long time ago that they were not dependable. I always recommend the TransGo kit. It is expensive but always does a great job and you have a few different options with it too. It comes close to what I do with my valve bodies whenI build them. I would take the un-opened B&M kit back and get the TransGo kit. 40-2 for 70 and later and the 47-2 kit for the 67-69 C4s. They are worth the difference in price.
We have the Trans -go in our c-4. Smooth shifting until your foots in it and then she barks. Good choice! Have had 0 problems.
Not a shift kit... Most folks dont have a mill to modify the channel casting so my mods won't help many people. The kit that I am making (and selling - shipping) will be to get rid of the 2-3 shift flare that some folks experience when they make there own mods or buy kits from some of the aftermarket builders. I have the kits ready and the instructions printed but I need to get pictures of the process to make it easy for anyone to install. Once I get the pictures taken care of I will be sending out emails to those who have emailed me their contact information to place an order. The orders will ship within one business day once I receive payment. I should have it all taken care of by this time next week.
