The B&M one was cake, I don't know what's included with the TransGo that's not in the B&M. If there's not too much a difference, the TransGo should be easy as well.
Most of B&M's kit worked with the valve body (replacing springs with spacers, drilling the separator plate). There was one piece, the pressure regulator (in the fluid pump) that was somewhat of a pain. If you change the pressure regulator spring, remember there are two grooves in the pump bore, don't shoot for the bottom one, since it's not a "real" groove. Looks damn close, tho; and don't ask me how I know.

Just put a transco in my 700r4 last week.
Not for a first timer, it involves pulling the valves out of the body and resizing the holes in the plate.This was the second one I've done. My S-10 with a 406 and a 700r4 With out lockup ran 12.01 on the track.
