Go with a transgo shift kit....a shift kit is a great bang for the buck..my girlfriend has one a it is great....they say it acually helps the life of the trans...But a little hard on the tires she churps them at low rpms all the time .....if your getting all that work done just throw in the extra little bit and get one you won't be dissapointed

A must? No, but it sure makes the shifts feel better after a TC install. It will also help to reduce clutch slippage and possibily extend the life of the clutch packs.....

What about the B & M Transpak that lets you keep the factory settings in drive mode? This would make daily driving easier by not chirping the tires all the time, wouldn't it?

Yes you it comes with video to install and it is helpful because the instructions are vague. Transgos shift really nice i think you wont be disapointed. I never drove a car with B&M so I dont know how they drive.
