    your best bet is to see if a place has remaining units in stock.

    Now how in the hell am i going to get one of these shift kits!? I called up Transtar and TXexhange, 2 retailers that supposively have the kit and they said that it has been discontinued... I really want one and did a shit load of googling for the part No. A245E-HD2 which is the kit Transgo makes for the rolla's and nothing.

    If you know any good online shops to order the kit from, that would help. I have no idea who to order it from either locally or online at the moment.

    lol, its not discontinued. who told you that? transgo would not know about it. only person there that knows about it is the owner. transgo do not sell their stuff to consumers... they only sell it to shops. and the kit is new and its prob not at the shelves yet. ill give transgo a call later and see whats up.

    it cant be discontined cuz he has a batch thats already made...

    So this kit will make your tranny handle more power and can shift faster right?
    Will you feel any hp/tq gain at all? Is it just like upgrading the torque converter?

    I called and talked with someone at transmission exchange co. http://www.txchange.com/sk.htm(our kit is listed here[a245e-hd2]) They didnt have the part in their system and the guy did some research and called me back like an hour later. He said that the kit was discontinued, after telling me he talked to some noob at transgo. so idk sean, if u find it people are willing to buy, i'll buy ur kit off ya actually.

    Lol, no wonder nobody knows about the kit, especially when they keep getting told it doesn't exist. Sigh. Well, I got the $$$ sitting here for this... just a matter of finding it.

    you will decrease your time on the 1/4 mile run... ive lowered my 0-60 time already. no extra power will be added. nothing to do with the engine.

    We gotta wait till the Transgo owner gets back in town before Sean can do anything. I think he said he'll be back within a week.
