the transgo kits are very good but a little involved for the beginner may want to take a look at the superior kits also easy to install and gets the job done

dont buy the b&m shift improver kit! it blocks the accumulator pistons from moving and is harsh on the tranny. after finding this bit of info out im trying to take mine out and put the stock accumulator springs back in. and now with it all back together i have no reverse. so that shift kit sucks! go with transgo or non at all.
