need trans help! completely lost on this one.

Actually trans-go doesn't make rebuild kits that I know of. They only make shift improver kits. I generally buy my parts from www.bulkpart.com but the only problem with their kits is their not complete. You also need to by a bushing kit, thrust washer kit, filter, and possibly band(s) separately but they are so much cheaper it's generally worth it. Note that a lot of other kits aren't complete either. You have to check them carefully to make sure your getting everything you need. As for staying away from TCI, their kits are ok, it's their transmissions you want to be weary of cause their quality control is severely lacking.
