Re: Smallcar shift kit

When I get a third car in the family I will probably go with the upgraded valve body from LAN. I have put it off due to having to ship back the core and the fact the car is my daily driver. I lean toward reliability verus harder shifts but I think the valve body will improve both. I don't know a lot about the small car kit as I was scared off of it early. But I doubt it would be worse that some other options which I think can't possibly be good for long term reliability. It will clearly speed up the shifts and while some will argue that it does it in a way that may be detrimental, at least energy isn't be stored up and dumped into the tranny like you get with other options out there.
