Trany. Shift Kit
Can anybody recomend a good trany shift kit?
I hope to change out my 3.08 for a set of 3.55's soon and I'm thinking that it would be a good time to get the trany kit.
all comments/recomendations are welcome,

Toreador Red
Bone stock for now,
air silencer removed...don't know that this helped any.
tinted windows...don't make it go any faster.
K&N filter...maybe it breaths better, I can't tell.

I and a few others have installed the TransGo Shift Kit. I had never been further that the filter in an automatic trans before so it was an experience. Had to drill a couple of holes in the valve body and change a few valves and springs. Kit came with a video so I put my VCR and an old TV in the garage and used the rewind button as much as my tools.
Shifts faster and firmer between shifts. If I get on the pedal it shifts real firm. The kit was ordered from Summit.

I installed my B&M Light Truck Transpack, P.N. 10057, and I love it. Took me like 4 hours to install, not too bad. Might have gone quicker if I had remembered to put the filter on the first time. Oh well, but the instructions in the kit were great, and the quality of the shifts now is excellent. Just my two cents, and I also purchased my kit from Summit Racing.
