The police package (9C1) B-body cars featured a First Gear Block Out (FGBO) Plate on the transmission housing to prevent drivetrain damage. The shift point for first to second gear is about 43 MPH (69 km/h) while second to third gear shift point is about 83 MPH (134 km/h) assuming a 3.08:1 differential and a 5,500 RPM engine speed limit.
The 1993 Camaro, Corvette and Typhoon were equipped with the last production 700R4. The last design change of the 700R4 was an added checkball to the valve body. In 1992 electronic controls were added, and it became the 4L60-E. The 4L60E is not easily swapped with the 4L60, as the 4L60E depends on a powertrain control module (PCM) to shift. [2]

Following major downturns in both segments in the late 1970s, Superior was liquidated by its parent company in 1980.
A shift kit is also intended to reduce the shift time of a manual vehicle. With a manual transmission, upshift time can be reduced by installing a lighter flywheel. During an upshift, the engine speed must decrease to synchronize with a higher gear; a lighter flywheel will allow the engine speed to drop more quickly, leading to shorter shift times.
Old-style tank shift. Regular clutch hand Shifter - This is where the shifter is a regular knob either located on the tank, which operates through a linkage to the transmission (tank shifter) or on a lever bolted directly to the top of the transmission (jockey shifter or slap shifter depending on the transmission design) and involves the semi-complex task of foot clutch operation and hand ...
