Does anyone have any advice on which shift kit is good for the 5R55E trans? I know Superior and Trans Go are two manufacturers.
Any installation tips?

Yeah, that would be nice to know...
 












I had the Superior kit and it worked great. Installation was straightforward and the results were well worth the cost of the kit. Never had any trouble with the tranny at all after it was installed. I would recommend getting new VB separator gaskets when doing the install. I had it done in less than 4-5 hours, only problem I encountered was I forgot to hook the manual linkage back up to the valvebody when I reinstalled everything. I had to drop the pan, drain the fluid and drop the VB again to reinstall it, but was quick enough to fix. Don't forget a good in-lb torque wrench either.

is there an aftermarket shifter available in the states that we could use to install a tiptronic push/pull type shift to our 5r55's
