Servos and Shift Kits

[qwk_snd]

Sonnax billets are too much for a stock trans.

even when it has a shift kit, stall, and the line pressures are set to stock specs?

In my opinion, yes. I think its still too harsh in a daily driving application. I'm not saying it'll cause you to break stuff... but its a pretty violent shift if you ask me.

not to jack the thread but how hard is it to install the SHift kit? i really wanna do one but dont wanna get into sumthin i cant handle...

A shift kit is not to terribly difficult to install, although I have never done one on a 60E so I don't know if they are very different from the 200-R4 and TH350 that I have done. The servo however is fairly simple, just pop out the snap ring, pull everything out, then reinstall the new parts (make sure all your seals and o rings are facing the right way) and slide it back together, trans can even stay in the truck the entire time.

I've done a few shift kits in th350, completely rebuilt one last weekm and a 60e valvebody scares me.

I agree billets to much, for a stock stall. but if you have a 3000 + convertor would probably be ok, stalls cushion shifts alot. Just my opinion.
