I'd have to see them really... but I think they are the different springs to use for the different shift levels? Maybe I'm wrong (I probably am on this one). Did the kit come with a video? If not then do a search for "Stagen" and email him, I'm sure he has a better idea than I do (since I went with a different kit).<b>Sean: 1994 Camaro daily driver</b> -

Okay, I have been through the B&M shift kit. I installed it and it did make a difference in my shifts being firmer compared to stock. Now, I am telling you from experience (my kit was like a hundred dollars)the cheapest and best route to go is to buy a shift improvement modual from SLP. I talked to all of the techs at SLP and due to my persistence and research they have revised everything so that it will fit on the V6 engines. In addition, it is twice as strong as the shift kit and only costs thirty dollars and you only have to connect two wires when installing it. While replacing my transmission pump, the B&M shift kit was removed and that was when I installed the shift improvement module. I'm telling you the difference is night and day.96 Firebird 3.8<br />SLP CAI, MSD DIS ignition, NGK plugs, Flowmaster exhaust, Accel extreme 9000 wires, 160 thermo, air temperature module, SLP 3300 stall converter, SLP shift improvement module, SLP strut tower brace and a whole lot of sanding to polish anything aluminum under my hood to make it look like chrome.Comment

If the SLP works by increasing the line pressure then it's junk. I'm guessing that's how it works. Just like the B&M shift improver. Trans go shift kit is by far better and actually good for the tranny. Unlike those that increase line pressure and damage it. Washers are used for shift levels not springs. You might want to look at additional write ups for the install to help you out.Comment

I'm just curious as to how increasing line pressure will"damage" the tranny?? Also , a B&M kit is an actual kit and not just a pressure increaser.I installed it personally and it worked fine. I'm just stating that the SLP works better.96 Firebird 3.8<br />SLP CAI, MSD DIS ignition, NGK plugs, Flowmaster exhaust, Accel extreme 9000 wires, 160 thermo, air temperature module, SLP 3300 stall converter, SLP shift improvement module, SLP strut tower brace and a whole lot of sanding to polish anything aluminum under my hood to make it look like chrome.Comment

The springs are for the internals for the tranny if you plan to rebuild it while you do the shift kit. They are not necessary to install the kit.94 Quasar Blue Z28<br /><a href=\"http://www.9t4z28.com\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.9t4z28.com</a><br /><a href=\"http://www.9t4z28.com/Dyno1.htm\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.9t4z28.com/Dyno1.htm</a>Comment

I'm sorry for misleading anyone. Ijust thought if the B&M was like the Transgo, you would be better off getting the SLP improver...less money ...less install...optimum performance.Good luck96 Firebird 3.8<br />SLP CAI, MSD DIS ignition, NGK plugs, Flowmaster exhaust, Accel extreme 9000 wires, 160 thermo, air temperature module, SLP 3300 stall converter, SLP shift improvement module, SLP strut tower brace and a whole lot of sanding to polish anything aluminum under my hood to make it look like chrome.Comment

Building the Tom Henry RS
Part 4: Suspension Mods, Tires, Wheels, Headers and other Cool Stuff.
By: Hib Halverson
At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...02-07-2020, 10:30 PM
