Sloppy shifting - will the B&M Shiftplus help?
I have a 2000 Alero 3.4L with a sloppy shifting trans, especially the 1-2 shift. Will the B&M Shiftplus help that? The B&M model number is 70380 right?

Oh yes, it'll help stiffen those shifts right up. You feel an immediate difference, seriously. It's one of the better mods I've ever done to my car.

Takes a long time for 1-2 shift sometimes, especially at high RPMs. |

If you get the DHP PCM, you can't use this

Somebody here said something about having to turn the Shiftplus off and on all the time but I can't find the post. Can't you just install it and leave it on, say in position 1?

Yes, you can leave it on position 1 all the time, but be advised it will accelerate the wear on your transmission oil pump.
The B&M ShiftPlus (and the AutoTrans Interceptor) both work on the same principle - they increase the current to the shift solenoids. If you wanted to modify the same thing in the PCM, it is the Force Motor Table.....which DHP doesn't make available to us (IDK if HPTuners does), because it can be so hard on the tranny. Use sparingly.

I've had my Shiftplus on my car for over 3 years, 2 of them turbo'd, and I've left it on setting 2 the entire 3+ years without any problems. Still shifts very fast and there's been zero transmission problems.

Yeah, I've had it on a GMC Jimmy (one of it's intended applications) for like 7 years or so with no adverse effects as well.
