92 and 93, you change the gears and sensor in the transmission. 94 up requires program such as hypertech.

You can replace the physical gears in a '94 and up as well, but reflashing the PCM is definitely easier and can give you added bonuses, as well. I don't think much of Hyperslop, though. Much better to send the PCM off for custom reprogramming by someone like Ed Wright at FastChip.
