I have a couple questions about the shift kit. If I install one of these things would it shorten the life of my auto tranny? Does anyone have this kit? also does anyone know where I can order a kit online? Thanx

Okay I found something....
**TransGo Transmission Re-Programming Kits**
TRANSGO Kits instantly re-program automatic transmissions for high performance and durability. Unique kits re-calibrate the transmission to shift far more efficiently. In terms of performance and durability for an automatic transmission, the most important improvement that can be made is to re-program the Control Assemblies. These assemblies regulate the functions of the entire transmission; 95% of shift performance comes from programming. Installing a Trans-Go Re-programming Kit will instantly improve the whole personality of your GM, FORD and CHRYSLER transmissions. Factory programming achieves comfort. The automatic transmissions coming off the assembly lines in Detroit are truly masterpieces of engineering. But engineers have been asked to program the shifting for smoothness and comfort. Also, consumer attitude surveys show that drivers believe a soft, smooth shift is easier on the transmission. Actually, just the reverse is true. To add comfort, Detroit designers have had to subtract a considerable amount of efficiency and durability. They have achieved comfort by extending the time duration of every shift. Not only does power slip away during this extended shift, but all friction surfaces receive excessive wear because they are asked to work overtime.
The stock automatic takes longer to complete each shift. Points A to B, Figure 1 show only mild acceleration. During this period only a partial power condition exists because the friction elements are slipping. This extended slipping time prevents the inertial energy from being efficiently utilized. It is lost in the form of heat on the clutches and bands, instead of being utilized for forward motion. Continually operating a stock automatic at full throttle will cause early friction element failure.
To get high performance and improved durability in an automatic, we must improve the way it executes every shift.
Trans-Go re-programming achieves durability and performance. So if you are willing to accept a faster shift, which will subtract some comfort, you can restore full performance and durability. This is exactly what a Trans-Go Re-Programming Kit does for you. It makes each shift faster and more efficient. As a result, durability of the transmission is immediately doubled. Re-Programming Goal:Make the shift faster without losing precision. The problem now becomes clear that what we need is re-programming that will precisely control the complicated chain of events that occur during every shift and do it in a far briefer span of time. This is exactly what Trans-Go has accomplished. Trans-Go kits cut slipping time by more than 70% (even more in the Competition version) and at the same time improve the quality of the shifting action itself. Figs 1 and 2 show the results.

Transgo shift kits are available from: http://www.transtarindustries.com/ Cost about $28 Part# SK 604/606 For Chrysler A604 automatic transmission You install the included parts and modify some components in the transmission to change how it shifts.
I don't know how hard it is to install, but it is not "plug and play"
