Default Shift Kit...HELP

I have a 04 Vert with a 2.73 Diff. and A4. I will be upgrading to 3.42 but probably not until this summer. Until then, I was thinking about installing a shift kit to help the weak 2.73 change faster and stronger. Is this a good idea? I use the car as a daily driver and do not want any tranny problems...

When I do upgrade to the 3.42 should I keep the shift kit installed?

Thanks

Give a PM to ENGLANDGREEN (Steven) and hear what he has to say about the install! We did it about 3-4 times.
