I want to put a real, mechanical shift kit in my 1997 4R70W. I can barely feel when it shifts, and with 110,000 on the clock I want the transmission to last.
My Choices:
B&M Shift Improver 40266:

Baumman Engineering Shift Kit:
Dead Link Removed
What are your opinions? I'm leaning twoards the Baumann.
Along with with the shift kit, Baumann lists:
-Pressure Regulator
-Bypass Clutch Control
What are your opinions on these additional parts?
Currently the trans shifts great, but there may be a small problem. Occasionally, at 35-40mph, there is a slight jerking/stumbling motion, that also occurs when the transmission shifts on the highway. It appears to be the TC locking/unlocking.
Thanks,
Aaron
