Baumann Engineering shift kit

I've done some research into shift kits for my AOD in my 88 F150,and popular opinion seems to put the Baumann Engineering products at the top. I'd like to buy one, but since I live in Canada I've been unable to find one. I tried to contact them through their website but got no response. Anyone know where I can find one?
The tranny seems to be okay, but it doesn't shift quite like I think it should. it had sticking valves when I got it, but I took out the valve body and cleaned it up and it seems okay now. However, it still wants to shift into OD quite early sometimes if I accelerate really slowly. Also, once in a while it'lldo something wierd when shifting into 3rd or Od. It seems like it doesn't engage right away,the rpm's go up for just a split second before it shifts. It doesn't do it all the time,so I don't know whats causing it. I have played with the TV cable adjustment a bit, and if I move it at all from where I have it now, it will not shift properly. I need to hook a pressure gauge up to it and see what my pressures are, but I think it's set up right as it won't work properly in any other setting.
I'd like to make sure the tranny is reliable for longer trips,so the shift kit along with a new boost valve is where I'd like to start. Any idea where I can get this kit, or if not his one another one of equal quality?

One of the best AOD builders in the country is in Canada.Lentech Automatics-AOD Home. Lentech has done some very innovative things for Mustang racers.

I like to shop near the house and have used PAautomatic in MD. I picked up a used Mustang and it had transmission troubles, so i purchased one of their AOD's and it works exactly like you would wish it.
