What went wrong in it? Was it a hard part? Burnt clutches? Differential? I'm thinking about getting a shift kit, my line pressure's been bumped but it just doesn't quite grab like I want it to. I had a transgo kit in my camaro and those shifts were instant, if it's anywhere close to this then I'll be happy. Thoughts?

the shift kit is worth it for the money but i didnt notice THAT much of a difference. It doesnt shift like my m3 did with smg thats for sure

When I blew mine it burnt everything. Everything was F*ed in one way or another, probably a big chain reaction.

Was it screwed enough that they couldn't say it was the shift kit that caused it?

You misunderstood my question. Was it so messed up that they couldn't have blamed the failure on a shift kit, had you had one.

aww shiet.. mine has shifted hard into 1st from a stop about 2 times already.. felt like it was gonna stall.. fuck!
im in for some bad news sooner or later arent i?
also i noticed one time i was accelerating normally from 20 to 35 not fast or anything but car didnt shift at around 2000-2500 rpm like it usually does when i have the pedal pushed that much.. it shifted at like 3k which seemed odd hearing the exhaust still going higher..
any possibility its just random hard shifting?
im running royal purple so im guessing its keeping the tranny together for a little longer then it would have lol

Ah ok, IF I had one they probably would have tried to blame it on that. But couldn't really tell you to be honest. All depends on the dealership.
