OK, obviously you're missing my point. I never said the shift kit would mess up INTERNAL parts, as in the heart of the tranny. Even if Chrysler made the transmission to slip gears internall, they probably designed the parts AFTER all that to withstand the less snappy and comftarble shift. It's not a matter of preference or what I believe, its common sense. Gear type parts with metal to metal wont like snappy shifts. And you're joking if you say you arnt gunna get on that gas more with a shift kit.

You're dead on about the preventive maintenence of the shift kit, it creates less heat. But you're missing my point about harder snappier shifts...Can't have the best of both worlds for a long time, unless you upgrade.
