What is the best shift kit for a 2000 ssei?I see people are using the thrasher kit and intense kit.They look like the same kit to me.The thrasher kit is cheaper also.I searched and there wasnt to much info about what kit is the best to use.Thanks Dave

Here'* a write up. https://www.gmforum.com/t278802/ You can make your own shift kit if you wish. Go to a hardware store and but a bronze tube and cut to length, you only need a few inches. This will help a bit. The best kit, and the same one I have on my car is the intense kit. It comes with new O rings, filter, and extra springs, as well as spacers. Your shifts will be quick and sharp. But not so hard that daily driving is hard.

What is the difference in the two kits?Just trying to justify the extra money for the intense kit.They look the same to me.Thanks Dan for your quick reply also. Dave

I've never installed a thrasher kit, so I can't really say. A while back a poll was taken and there was more members using the intense kits then all the other kits combined. Transgo was the 2nd most used kit followed by the thrasher kit.

Thanks again Dan.When I searched I didnt see the poll.I will go back and see if I can find it.Dave

That poll wasn't here. I'm on several car forums.

Ok Thanks

I have the Intense Kit in my 2000 SSEi. It'* an easy mod and the kit is rugged. The shifting is awesome and like Danthurs says...and not hard enough to be a pain in a daily driver.

You had the issues with the shift solenoid and the shift kit fixed your issues?The more I think about it I am going to get the Intense kit.Anybody else have any other opinions for shift kits?Thanks for the replies guys.Dave
