A Shift kit puts less wear and tear on the clutch assemblies in the Trans.
Although the rest of the drivetrain may suffer a bit from the quicker shift,
I have never had any problems with any shift kits in any on my old muscle
cars. I think its pretty safe...

Well, since the shifts are harder, I think you are actually decreasing
the life of the tranny, not to mention the U-Joints, rear end gears and
tires. I'll stick with the stock shift, it seems pretty firm to me
already and also my R/T will never tow anything while I own it. I have
an '84 Chev 5/8 ton for the ugly work. Just my opinion. Alan S.
