Shift Kit

Im thinking of getting a shift kit for my 2000 auto. Does anyone out there have one, and if you do where did you get it and is there a big improvement?
Thanx.

Does the tranny hesitate then kick hard from 1-2 when you get on it?

I was going to get a valve body, but decided against it. Instead I had a Trans-Go shift kit put in at a local trans shop. I also had a tranny cooler installed. The shifts are a little more firm, but not rough at all. I'm happy and the tranny should last longer (less slippage and cooler). Just make sure that the tranny shop is reputable.
