Does anyone here know if I was to buy a shift kit and put it on only a GT would it make a difference? I don't want to buy one if it's not going to make a difference.

Yes it will make a difference and its a good mod. It will help make the shifts tighter and quicker and the shifts will be harder. You can also change the Tranny pressures on the PCM to obtain better shifts on the GT.

Also this is good for the Clutch/Gear bands. On factory settings the bands SLIDE into place. This allows for smoother shifts but can cause wear on the bands due to they will slide against eachother before contact. With the shift kit or Tranny Pressure change - This will allow the bands to bang into contact and will reduce the sliding and wear. Now it will take awhile to get used to the harder shifts but the gain is worth it.



Triple Edge Performance Information:

-Transgo Shift Kit- We slightly modify this kit for improved high throttle shift feel on modified cars as well as
make a few other changes internally to quicken and firm up shift feel. The extra modifications alone make a
very significant difference in shift feel and keep clutch packs alive under high powered abuse. We set up
every transmission different to best match the vehicle it will be installed in and this is why we must have
your specific vehicle details as we do not build a one-fits-all model.

You will notice a difference in the shifts. I put one in my GT and noticed a difference. ZZP and wbodystore sell them. I have the wbody store one and had them add the 2-3 spring for the 1-2 shift from the previous kit for an additional $10. The spring is optional. Or you could get the items needed yourself. The write up is over on club gp. This is the link.
