Shift kits.. do you really need one????

Well for someone who has a "pretty good understanding" you have not offered a single piece on information in this thread...accept how you have fitted kits in the past.
It's funny because when you try to get into the real nuts and bolts of how things work all of the usual forum experts just seem to disappear..

Because there are very few "real" experts here. Certainly none have appeared in this thread. I threw out what I know and have been experienced with better than 25 years, and as usual got shot down by one of the forum "geniuses". That's when I backed out of this thread.

Fact is, release time is crucial to how fast a Torqueflite shifts, but I will be damned if I will ever make that statement here again. Too many people wanting to puff up their chest and make the other guy out wrong.

Too many people take for granted that if you don't "know something and know it "their" way" that you're wrong.

Remember, Ford calls one thing by one name and Chrysler and everybody else calls it something else. Too many people here think their way is the highway. Makes me want to punch their fuckin teeth out.
