Magnumguy OP I Live Here Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 10,640 S.E.Ohio	I want to install a shift inprover kit in one of my Magnums. Bone stock 318, 998 trans. I want one that retains the lockup but raises the engagement speed (45 or so), and will also firm up the shifts. What would I need to buy? Last edited by Magnumguy; 10/24/20 10:51 PM.

You'll gain some insight into what it takes to raise shift points, and probably figure out a direction to head in. Maybe changing the title of your thread to "Shift Kit Recommendations" would get the transmission guru's to chime in also.
