Welcome aboard. We try to keep it pretty search friendly. Those that had the Jet shift plus are gone now I think. George may still have it in his BlaZer?
A few threads around here will spell out the function and how they liked it.

Does that do the same thing as setting the HPPIII for firm shifts? Was always curious about that. I was using the firm shift with changing the shift points and was quite happy with it. But a couple years ago, I had my tran rebuilt, althought it didn't need it (long story), and they put the Corvette servo in it. Now I have the HPPIII programmed for stock shift points and stock firmness, and it's a world of difference, meaning much better now with the Corvette servo. But also lowered the stall speed to 1800 on a new converter. It holds overdrive excellent on hilly roads.

All this does is raise the line pressure. Well I installed it last night, can't really tell a difference on 1 and 2 but on 3 or race only what ever you wanna call it, it made a decent change. nice firm shifts jerks you a little but, but i think i'm gonna buy a shift kit. Anyone know what works best with our 4l60e trannys. I just had my tranny rebuilt like 2000 miles ago.

Thanks
Chris

The complete Transgo shift kit is the only one I would even consider. :wink:

Totally agree with Steve on the shift kit from Transgo. Tons of good engineering and technical knowledge behind their kits. I've had nothing but good results using their kits for over 30 years.
