It depends on the kit you get. Basicly the kits will have you drop the valve body and change servo springs. Some kits have you drill holes in the valve body. I would not ise the B&M kit for the 700R. It is cheap and will not give you the shifts you are looking for. TransGo makes a nice kit. Search the post I am sure it has some good posts on the subject.

Re: Shift Kits? (flyinace2000)
I installed a Trans Go shift kit (Jegs.com) and I'm not autotrans expert by any mean but what it will do it to give you much quicker & firmer shifts under hard acceleration but increasing the line pressure in your tranny. Fluid is what makes your autotrans work, both in the converter and trans itself. The kits have you replace soleniods, remove or change metal *****, drill out ports Etc. all to increase fluid flow. I hope that helps :cheers:
