the shift kit quickens the actual gear changes. Not the time the computer takes to tell the gearbox to change. Very little can be done to rectify that.

i'm guessing a good bet would be to have confidence your gearbox is in good condition, but whilst driving with it on, and giving it to it, don't be too keen on that gearbox staying in good condition.
apparently i'm throwing sparks upon gear change with it on (& i'm giving it a bit.)
so yeah, still reccommend for fun, although maybe put the adjuster in too. :mrgreen:

an adjuster is a variable potentiometer. Replace the resistor with a variable potentiometer in order to "adjust" the firmness of the shift.

This will still not make the gearbox change faster after changing gears with the shifter.
