I would say do the repairs before the modifications. Mods tend to add more problems than they fix. As for the jerky transmission, try a transmission fluid flush, should cost around $100 or less at Jiffy Lube (they call it the T-tech service).

Flushing the ATF will take away the jerkyness in down and up shifting? Can this be done myself? What would I need or would you recomend for the best performance??? How about slugish shifting will that help it a little or none at all????
