Shift kit?

What exactly does a shift kit do and who makes a good reliable one for an AOD.

Shift kit?

transgo makes 2 kits.(summit) I have not used one "yet" but they claim it will help get rid of some of the AOD blues. The performance kit shifts hard. That is what I heard but define hard.

Shift kit?

Just got done installing a B+M kit (the cheap one from summit RV) and like the results was having a little shutter when it tryed to pull from a down shift .I like the results the shifts are firm but MPG's went up about two per gal.The main reason I got it was that it had the spacer plate gaskets in it cheaper than buying them alone and sombody posted that retorqueing the valve bodys made a difference and it did,It takes about a half day to do and put a drain plug in while your at it good luck.
