Default Shift Kit

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to go ahead and put a shift kit in my A4 because I need to change filters and fluids in it. Anyone have a good recomendation? It has the stock converter right now because funds are short right now to upgrade.

Thanks!
Mike

You be in for a lot more work to drop the valve body and do a shift kit.
Probably have to remove the servo too.
It's not that bad, you should get some tuning done like shorten the 2-3 shift duration along with the shift kit.
I'd suggest a transgo kit.

Do you know how I would you do this with LS1 edit. Both of my T/A's hesitate shifting from 2-3.
