Transgo, all the way.
A shift kit won't help a sick transmission though.
Or a better launch.

It won't change anything on take off, (that totally dependent on the power or lack thereof from the engine). It will help make firmer 1-2 and 2-3 shifts that might bark the tires when shifting. Trannies often run cooler and last longer with shift kits by reducing the overlap (dragged out soft feel) during the shifts.

Be careful. You could break something inside after all those years.

Like the band.
Then it will be off to the *** kicking tree.
