When you finally summon the courage to fit the kit you may want to consider fitting some updated Sonnax valves at the same time. The important one allows the torque converter to fill in park and avoids the clunk on take off.

I would advise against a shift improver kit. Martin Barnes talked me into one many moons ago and although it gives a more positive change it's a bit more boy racer and less Bentley. Personal preference but I prefer refined understatement until the pedal squashes the carpet.
