    Shift Kits

     



    Maybe this has been asked here a lot maybe not, I am not sure. Anyways, I just put in my built 351W into my 66 F100 and my tranny was built about a year and a half ago and supposedly it was built with a shift kit. There is no shift kit because if so then I think the guy forgot to put it in haha. The tranny is a C4 with a 2,000 or 2500 stall (I don't remember which one it is). I want a pretty firm shift where it will squeal (sp) the tires throughout the gears. This truck is now my fun truck and I am putting in a lock rite that I just got in the rear end so I am not that worried about comfort on the street. I looked on ebay and this guy is selling a Transgo kit and I saw some B&M ones, etc.
    Thanks a lot for any info!

    I bought and installed a B&M shift kit for a TH350 about 30 years back . I don't remember it costing very much either (I couldn't have afforded it back then otherwise).

    Worked great and very easy to do. I'm less familiar with the Ford tranny's but shouldn't be a problem. Mine gave crisp shifts and I think it actually helped the tranny last longer ........

    Godd luck, Kitz
