i 've been pricing shift kits'. all i need to know is which would be the better kit to go with. price wise and install time wise. i've got a hard shift 1-2 and it does it all of the time. no codes. and since i have no way of knowing if there is already a kit in there, i've decided to buy one more of a piece of mind thing.

it's a 95 safari awd. what does everyone think?

All I know is I love the Transgo HD-2 kit installed in my 95 as well as my 2003 AWD. I am waiting on the 'vette servo for the 03 and then she'll be perfect!

Too bad one of us around you could drive it to get a feel for the tranny. Does it shift firm into each gear or is it only going into 2nd?

how much did your transgo kit run ya? all of the shifts seem firm, but not near as harsh and 1-2.

Where are you located? Seems like you may have a shift kit, just no corvette servo. The kit was $20...I got a heck of a deal!

Corvette servo is easier to install then the shift kit; don't even have to drop the pan. it should take you a couple hours to do taking your sweet time, if that. With that being said I can't complain about my Transgo HD kit.

Servo cover it's self. On passenger side of the transmission.

After you pull the snap ring off, you may have to twist it around with some pliers or channel locks.

please note the outermost piston on the shaft goes on the opposite way that it is in the pics.

Pic of the assembly it's self, this is what you'll be working with.
