I like Trans-Go. B&M is junk.

I am gonna go with the transgo kit myself. But i have a B&M In my Bronc and it works great. But ive heard somme good things about the Transgo kit so im goin with that. MY B&M Kit is installed in a c6 behind a 400 4 bbl, and it is starting to slip a little, you can hear it grind when you let off sometimes. But im new at this whole shift kit thing, let me know how yours goes.

I have the Art Carr shift improvement kit in my 4r70w. It is the same as the AODE kits. My Art Carr unit works great and took very little to install. Some of the kits are very involved and some tranny shops won't install them cause people complain that they screwed somthing up when they don't like the new shift patterns. My kit was way easy to install, drilling only two holes and replacing one spring. My car now shift alot firmer, not harsh, but you can tell a major difference. The kit costs $ 69.00! For about 600 bucks you can make your auto a fully manual/auto with the Art Carr manual/auto valve body.
