actually, they are both transgo kits. i simply bought the transgo kit from jsdperformance.
if you read closely at the transgo site, under the info for the SKAODE kit, it says for 'harder shifts' go with the HD kit. now, is there really a difference between what the SKAODE kit does vs having 'harder' shifts with the HD kit?

RE: automatic shift kits
I just purchased the HD2 kit for mine and havent had it installed yet. So, I purchased the harder shifting one? I think there is one that is just a "rebuilder kit" which you put in when rebuilding the tranny and uses strong parts and has less slipage and the other one which is much harder to install. Not sure, I asked about this before and was told to get the HD2 kit. Hopefully it doesnt throw me around in the car while shifting....

RE: automatic shift kits
Hey,[/align]I dont have a cooler, dont need one. People will say you do, but unless your at the track all the time, I wouldnt worry about it. As for the shift kit I have Im pretty sure its http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TRANSGO-FORD-AODE-4R70W-SHIFT-KIT-MUSTANG-5-0-4-6-F-150_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33727QQihZ009QQitem Z190221595025QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW this is the kit I think I purchased, and the place as well. I also put in 373 gears and now it rocks.I dont use it as a daily driver, but could since the shift kit only really shifts hard when "getting it on". hope this helps[/align]

do the j mod valve body swap much better then a shift kit.

All you need is a drilled seperator plate and 2 new gaskets and you are ready to go.
I purchased my plate from VAP and am very happy with the service and shipping.
I asked a million questions, well almost, and got replies sometimes within minutes of asking.
Very friendly and fast shipping.

For *me* the Jmod was the only way to go.
The guy, Jerry, was an engineer on the 4r70W and nobody knows more about that tranny than he does.
There are 48 dozen ways to get firmer shifts on an automatic but all are not equal.
Some compromise the longetivity of the tranny and I was just not interested in that as my car is a DD but of course suffers from the slip and slide shifting that all stock stangs (auto) suffer from.
I installed the Jmod plate and a B&M cooler and the car is like a different animal.
Fast, crisp shifts that are pleasent for DD but will easily chirp the tires if you go 75 percent throttle or so.
Just the way I want it.
Follow the instructions, keep things SQUEAKY CLEAN, don't drop your check ***** and take it slow and you should be able to do this.
One real plus with the Jmod is NO DRILLING OF THE VALVEBODY is needed.
Just the seperator plate and if you buy a pre-drilled plate you can always re-install your stock plate if you don't like the mod.
Lot's of great tranny information here:

RE: automatic shift kits
i just had my tranny rebuilt(96' gt vert). new hd coneverter, hd clutches, hd bands, hd sprags and a shift kit. the shop tore it down to the case and rebuilt everything, even put in a new planetary gears. it shifts fast and hard. the rear end gets swirly from first to second and it still has the stock 3.27's in it. also got a 12 month 12k waranty.
