I'm putting in a B&M shift kit in to my 88 GT tomorrow.. and I'm wondering if anybody who's done this has any advice or tips. I haven't done a shift kit in years, and it was on a Mopar.

For a shift kit??? No. You need to drop the valve body, take some check balls out, drill a couple holes... replace a couple springs and crap... and you're done. Never heard of a shift kit requiring tranny removal.

the dude told me that he would have to drop the tranny because he couldn't do it unless the tranny was upside-down
i guess he was BSin me to try to get more money.

its a good thing i never bought the kit.

I would personally take the B&M back and buy a better shift kit such as Transgo or Baumann. These are much better shift kits.
