The B&M Transpak is the next step up from the B&M Shift Improver kit. It has all the features in the Shift Improver kit, plus it provides additional driver manual control (GM TH-400, 350, Ford C-6 and Chrysler Torqueflite only). The B&M Transpak for 1970-1982 Ford, Lincoln, Mercury C4 automatic transmissions recalibrate’s your C4 transmission for optimum performance to best suit your needs. Most stock automatic transmissions won’t downshift into low gear above 15 mph, and automatically upshift at a predetermined speed no matter what gear you’re in. With the Transpak, you can downshift at any speed, and you can hold the transmission in first gear to any speed that you want! This is an asset when you’ve got a modified engine, and you want additional RPMs, or you’re towing a trailer or driving heavy loads downhill. Stage 1. Heavy Duty is for street rods, normal passenger vehicles or other heavy duty use. Firmer shift feel but not harsh. Improves transmission performance and life dramatically without loss of comfort and offers normal automatic operation when in Drive. Stage 2 is for Dual purpose performance vehicles, Hi-Performance Street/Strip, Off-Road/desert and 4-wheel drive use. Stage 3 – Competition use Only. Not for Street use.

The B&M Shift Improver kits feature two options to recalibrating your 1967-1991 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury C6 automatic transmissions. First is the HEAVY DUTY set-up, giving you firm positive shifts without loss of driver comfort for improved performance in all street vehicles. This is a great option for performance street driving or towing. The second is our STREET/STRIP set-up. Be warned, this will deliver firm positive shifts you will feel, along with easily chirping the tires when shifting somewhat aggressively. This setting is recommend for high performance street/strip use, or for competitive events when you want the hardest, quickest shifts possible from a shift improver kit.

A true performance application component for cars, trucks, hot rods. For racing/competition, yet popularly used for street vehicles when more horsepower is added. Soft running enough to absorb vibrations for street use yet rugged for racing use. Helps control torque on high performance vehicles. Maintains proper drive shaft angle to help prevent early wear and unexpected power train damage. Replaces the original, short lived and typically too-soft rubber mounts and outdates those hard-running metal transmission mounts. Resistant to under vehicle fluid oils, coolants and road contaminants. Made of Energy’s Hyper-Flex performance polyurethane and heavy duty hardware – for added durability.
