Question Help Me Choose a Shift Kit

Once again, give opinions on which shift kit you guys recommend.
Zippy or Transgo? I don't want one too abrupt, because I will be pulling my skii boat from time to time. It weighs 6,000lbs+.
Maybe one that gives the option of just a HD type shift kit thats not annoying everytime it shifts.

Thanks,

Jim

I have an Transgo HD2. However, it is not in my truck yet so I'm not going to vote. My pointless post is over now...

get a transgo and set it up with no washers. it will still be firm but not harsh at all. are you doing servos at the same time or do you already have them

I really love the Zippy kit, Feels racey and firm when your on it, nice and easy shifting at part throttle. really made my truck fun and enjoyable to drive, the wife cant even tell when she drives it easy that it has a shift kit, till ya mash it!!! Also it is proven to help the trans last..

I thought Zippy used a Transgo?

I would stay away from the transgo altogether.

Their HD2 kit is junk, imo. Cheap parts, poor support, etc..

There are many ways to get the job done.

I would rather specifically address the shortcomings of the 4l60 rather than doing an end around by installing an HD-2.

FWIW, I would surely go with what Zippy recommends as he seems to be very knowledgeable with regards to these transmissions.

Again, just my opinion.
