The Transgo is a more complete shift kit.
It actually includes new springs, tells you where in the seperater plate to drill holes and how big.
This is actually the right way to install a shift kit.
Most other companies just want you to leave out a check ball, or plug this hole, or drill this.
The better way is to replace some springs to help change the pressure, not over work the springs themselves by changing the pressure of the fluid on the valves.
I have bought a few ransgo kits and have seen the B & M kits. I think the transgo is by far the better kit and is not that hard to install.

WHy doesn't anyone here try the B&M TransPak kit???
Only like $50 and has most of the stuff that the TransGo kit has. I have used them in lots of vehicles (instead of the B&M Shift Improver Kit) and they have worked out VERY well....
