If the kit is set to the "Race" modes (like B&M does), it will destroy
u-joints and differentials...not to mention putting stress on the
internals of the transmission (there is such a thing as too high of a
line pressure). The standard Transgo kit does not do this...i've
installed them since 1989 without ever a problem.

I know that installing a trans shift kit ,is hard on the clutch packs,
and if installed properly should be no problems, just that the life of
the Trans will be shorter.
