where can i find these? anylinks out there i've looked and not to sure what im looking for.i've had several people say i need to put a shift kit in my stang,whats the prices of these and what else should go with them?
No, go with the shift, it makes an amazing difference, a tuner does good, but it has no comparison to a shift kit. A tuner just adjusts the shift points, a shiftkit will make it shift on command when you want it to. Transgo is the best and make sure you do an intercooler too, you won't regret it!
ORIGINAL: Master get the Predator Tuner, it will do that + so much more
^^^ This is a good place to start, get the tuner with a set of gears from mustangtunning or rpm outlet. Use that to make trans adjustments and see how you like it. For me it was not enough so I installed a Trans-go shift kit along with a trans cooler. If you get a shift kit I highly suggest (and wound not get the kit without it) you install a nice big trans cooler (the bigger the better). You can go on trans-go's website and try to find a place near you that sells the kits and order it from them; or you can figure out what kit you need for your car and fine it on E-bay.

theres alot to soak in.im not really sure of what to look for ,as i've said before this car stuff is new to me,,i never really cared to do anything to a car,i drove a probe for years..sorry dont laugh ,, but since i got a real car with a some balls,im wanting to learn all i can,and you guys at this forum is a bad influence,lmao in a good way, i have all these ideas with mods and have no idea where to begin, but was told a shift kit is a good start,how true this is i don't know
you can find some info on how to install a shift kit- try google- good pics also. Some people can do it, others cant. I guess you have to drill into the throttle body and Im just going to have mine installed by the shop thats putting in new gears.
As long as your modding a bit, definately put in some different gears. Will really wake it up without touching the motor. Gears and shift kit or tuner would make it seem like a whole new ride. As for what gears you ask? Dont bother asking. just use the search button and all your answers are there- as well as the stickies. Good luck
you will prolly not want to install a shift kit yourself its not easy, its new harder springs that go into the transmission that make the clutchs slam together harder causing less slipe between them thus makin firmer shifts and transferring more power.... in my v6 auto i had a shift kit put in and i LOVEDDDDDDDDD it my car would spin 1st chirp both 2nd and 3rd gear it hit so hard...but you have to change the springs and things and also drill one of the walls out in the transmission.... so definetly take it to a shop (might be differnt for v8)

But isn't part of the purpose of a shift kit to cool down the tranny, due to the shortened time of friction between the clutches??

I had my shift points firmed up using a Tuner and that was great...for a while. Then I had a higher stall torque convertor put in (only 2600) and cooler to help the 60' times at the track and it must have changed the line pressure in the AODE as I lost a lot of the firmness I had before. Putting in the Trans-Go Kit in a couple weeks to bring that SNAP back to the shifts. It will also allow the tranny to hold any gear, downshift manually at any RPM and as noted earlier, prolong the life of the AODE.
Installation isn't that bad. I did one in a friends 91 Fox last Summer with the help of her husband and I am just learning to wrench in my garage. You have to drop the trans pan only, not rebuild that transmission as previously mentioned. Pull out the valve body, replace some check balls and springs, possibly drill a hole or two in the main plate and valve body, and I think that's it. Beyond normal sockets, you should have snap ring pliers and a torque wrench. The one we did got a little messy dropping the pan and I highly suggest having one extra set of hands to make this easier but you could probably manage by yourself.
my tranny dont like to shift into 4th gear very well,i was pushing 90 the other day and it was still in 3rd i had to let off the gas to get it to shift,and sometimes it vibrates when it shifts to 3rd and 4th ,btw it an automatic...what would cause that?
Yeah the Diablo made my car SHIFT SOOOOO much harder, but yeah shift kit/vavle body kit... will REALLY make it shift HARD.
I had the Diablo in my car and was fine with it. then I put in my COnverter, and now my car shifts like STOCK Again. so its time for a Vavle Body Kit/Shift Kit.
if you are going with a converter/have one... you need more then just hte DIABLO shift kit.
