Hmm.... My friend has a f150 with a f350 custom turbo diesel.... with a shift kit... (auto tranny) its running around 550+ whp and the Shift kit really helps for him...... if your running a turbo'd setup or just want a car to shift faster thsi seems like its pretty nice.... in a nutshell Your too judgemental.... nothing personal... but teh AUTO. guys need some way to catch up to man. trannys'!!! haha ... wonder how much it will cost?

Why would faster shifts be better? Especially in a turbo Auto, you'll be able to hold boost in the upper RPM range and shift w/o losing boost like you would in a Manual.

well auto's don't loose boost at all do they? because of the way it shifts.

faster shifts would mean smoother acceleration i'd asume.

INVECSII Transmissions shifft a hell of a lot faster than standard auto or manual with less loss or tourque between shifts

how would swapping a 5 speed tranny be saving the hassle? Autos can hold the power between shifts usually better than manual drivers. So making the shift faster would be even better. And yes autos still lose power between shifts. The whole period between gears is dropping power.

I think I'd like something like this but the only thing I would worry about is the installation. A tranny is very complex, especially a auto tranny and I would not want to mess up anything. When a price is made, someone buy, install it and give instructions

Don't you then need to do something with the ECU? I would think you would, but I am going by the fact that RRM sells two different types of Piggybacks, one for a 5speed transmission and one for an automatic transmission.

Speaking from experience, I had a 94 Dodge Dakota, V-6 and automatic. I had a shift kit install and it made one hell of improvement. From firmer shifts to allowing me to shift it manually without damaging the transmission.
