While dissassembling my transmission for a rebuild, I found a shift kit installed. Why would anyone install a shift kit in a TF-999 in a CJ-7. All the friction plates and clutch discs were burnt. Would someone believe it could correct for burnt clutches?

Most shift kits increase line pressure and shorten shifts, shorter shifts reduce wear and clutch slippage between shifts. In theory, with the increased line pressure of a shift kit the trans could function a little longer with worn internals. But once the clutches go, no remedy or mechanic in a bottle can compensate.
