700R4 Shift kits, best bang for the buck?

New motor has been in the car I guess 2 months now and running near perfect, however today I had the car up on ramps changing the oil and noticed the tranny pan was leaking abit around the gasket matting area. The tranny was rebuilt in 93' and even though I meant to drop the pan the put a new filter in I havent had the chance yet. I've been reading a bit on shift kits, like from B&M and that but as cheap as some of them are seems like they may not be worth the money. So since I'm gonna be droping the pan to fix my leak and install a new filter I figured I would ask you guys whats the best bang for the buck shift kit and if they are worth it.

Transgo all the way. Don't even mess with a B&M, you'll shoot yourself later. And don't get the cheap transgo either, get the complete one for about $150 with the corvette servo. I haven't had any luck with the Superior kit either. Transgo has always worked for me. In fact, I was up till 2:00 am this morning taking out a superior kit and installing a new transgo kit in my rebuilt tranny. The only reason the superoir was in it was the shop that did the rebuild only used superior kits so I gave it a shot, very unhappy. My car now shifts like it should.

Great guys, I'll check the TransGO kit out. Since I'm not your expert auto tranny guy, whats the difficulty level of this kit?


Thanks
