Message:
I've been debating on purchasing a shift kit for my 99 R/T. I know the Auto Tranny on my vehicle can be sluggish at times and I'd prefer more control over it. I've determined that it is fairly inexpensive ( under 150 or so ) and can be done in an afternoon.
Do any of you guys have suggestions or opinions. I have heard good things from both the TransGo Shift Kit and the Mopar Performance Shift Kit. As well as what I would need to purchase and where I can get it at.

Thanks

Josh

The mopar kit is junk, just go to www.moparchat.com to find out how bad they really are. Stick with the transgo kit

RTJohn,

Thanks for the heads up. Do you know where I can find out which kit I will need to get. From what I have gathered it looks like Dakotas have the 42RH transmission, but I wanna be sure before I order the wrong thing.

Thanks

Josh

Hey man, I heard the other day that V6 Dakotas have the 44RH. V8 Dakotas have 46RH. And the R/T or any 360 Dakota has the 48RH. I read it off DML.

Good luck,
Joey

you want the trans go kit. i put one in my 01 5.9 quad. only because b&m does not make one. however, the trans go is quite good, shifts are much faster and crisper. it now barks 2nd under full throttle. the more mods i do, the more agressive the shifts seem to feel. trans will last longer too. while you are at it, call summit and get a remote trans filter kit, as it will filter 1000 times better than a stock screen.
