You've probably noticed that your C4 shifts a
little lazily. Kind of like driving a car on a sunny
day, just taking it easy and shifting nice and slow.
Great for everyday driving, lousy for performance.
Now imagine shifting your 5 speed at the race
track. A lot of gear slamming and clutch dropping.
You feel every shift like a kick in the behind,
sometimes even chirping the tires on a shift if you're
not carefull.
That's what a shift kit does for your auto. Makes
the shift much faster, and therefore somewhat harder on
your backside. Great for performance, not so great
for a smooth ride and can be tough on the equipment.
Fortunatly, a good shift kit has various levels of
performance, from a little snappy to full race trim.
It makes the car a little quicker, and feel a little
better. It can also raise the shift point to match
your engine combo and driving conditions.
