the trans should bolt right up with no prpblems. a shift kit will make the shifts quicker or firmer.

Don't get a strip shift kit for the street. I will break your neck in everyday driving. Go with a Trans go street shift kit, works great for me.

Check or replace the MAF burnoff relay and power relay.
