not exactly sure, but i think the valve bodies are the same. i would just get a tuner and use the shift kit in that rather than putting in an actual shift kit. with the tuner, referring to the edge specifically, others are alike i am sure, you can adjust shift point, how hard and fast you shift, etc.
