I have looked at an ED Fairmont (supercharged) & it has harsh gear changes. Would a shift kit solve this problem or is the auto stuffed. I'm told that the car puts out around 200kw at the wheels. I don't know much about shift kits but I have read that they help out alot with modified engines. Also does anyone know roughly how much I can expect to pay for one supplied & fitted in the melbourne area. Thanks John

What do you mean by Harsh gear changes.
Most people who have a shift kitted auto will generally say that it causes harsh changes.

and as john said. harsh changes is usually a sign of a shift kit.
