You could drive it down to Illinois to FLP and talk to Chuck, I think that the charge around 2-3 hundred. I am planning on doing the same, probally in the spring for me though! :chevy :steering: :cheers:

Get your gears and converter at the same time. I was surprised at the savings.

Instead of spending $300.00 buying and installing a shift kit. Put a few extra dollars with it and buy a Predator. With Predator you can adjust shift points and shift firmness very easily if you don't like the settings unlike a shift kit. You can also adjust your cars gear ratio, timing and check A/F etc. IMHO a much better alternative than just a shift kit.

The harder shifts via programming are not the same as the transgo. The programming increases line pressure to make the shifts firmer while a transgo will actually speed up shifts and makes them firmer by a different method but i can't remember what it is. It's been a while since I had my A4....

According to the Yank Converters (Check their web site under FAQs) a shift kit also increases shift firmness by raising line pressures. This is the main reason why Yank does not recommend shift kits
