Some info on a shift kit?

I have just ordered a shift kit for my 94 s 10 ss and a kid at school trashed the idea because it was a colum shifter. He figured that the shift kit only shortened the shift when I manually shifted my automatic tranie, I never even thought of this. So what is the deal? I figured that it shoiuld shorten both shifts. some1 please clear this up for me and correct me where I am wrong. thx

There are a few things a shift kit can or will do. It doesnt matter where your shifter is.

If you have a street/strip kit you should feel a good improvement when it shifts. Harder and more firm.

it has nothing to do with your colum at all, it goes inside the tranny and improves yours shifts, faster and harder shifts.. tell your friend hes an idiot

yeah, a shift kit for an automatic is nothin more than some springs and valves and a new seperator plate and valve body gaskets, so yes ur friend doesnt know the difference between his ass and a hole in the ground, it makes ur tranny shift firmer and depending on how u set it up, at higher rpms, and there are a few more variable affects a shift kit can have depending on which one u got

hey ... where did you get the kit and how much ... I have a 94 ss as well

+1 on the friend is an idiot vote

Hey thanks guys, I will be sure to tell my friend he is and idiot; and that he "doesnt know the difference between his ass and a hole in the ground." Thanks again for the help.

I havent got the kit yet I just ordered it from Lordco. It is a B&M shift kit. They quoted it for like $30 CND. But I think it retails for like $50 or $60, nice to have access to a high spending account.
