Transgo Jr do I need it??

Im think about installing a shift kit in my 87 5.0 tpi w/ 700r4. After reading quite a bit of posts I think im gonna stay away from the b&m kit. So its down to the transgo. I was thinking about the transgo jr. What do you guys think.

My car has 137000 miles, and being rebuilt as we speak. I dont need neck breaking shifts while driving. Its mainly a street car with possibly some light autocrossing. Will the transgo jr firm up my shifting at all, and will it help with the life of my trasmission???...What are your guy's experience with these kits??

Thanks

The Jr kit fixes a few common problems, but doesn't do anything for shift firmness.

So should I even bother installed the transgo jr?...Im pretty mechanically inclined the Complete Transgo kit seems kinda of a daunting task. I havent really worked on a tranny before. I know theres a video..but the pic of kit shows like 30 springs...screw that....

Will the improvement of the transgo Jr. be worth it??
