Really need to invest in a tranny cooler before your shift kit will have any positive effects.

a tuner like the diablosport will allow you to firm up shifts etc. as well. not like a shift kit but it helps. it killing the tranny is just a myth. like dan said get a trans cooler to help, "keep it alive" (in my best death metal voice)

Summit Racing or Jegs will have them. Trans coolers are universal and if you don't see a shift kit listed for your car, call them and ask. They have way more stuff than what is in the catalog
