I have a Transgo shift kit in mine and I love it. Your tranny will lats long with the quick shifts as opposed to the slower smoother shift fro the OEM settings. Slower moother shifts=more heat and more heat=a bad day for a tranny.

Get a deep trans pan with a drain plug also, this will make changing the oil way easier.

Just installed my HD2 yesterday! I also added a Vette servo, metal accumulator pistons and a hardened separator plate.
I couldn't be happier with my transmission now. It shifts firm but not hard. The shifts are also very quick without any slippage.
I highly recommend a shift kit.
Also, thanks to everyone that posted their installation advice on Performance Trucks. Your help and tips made my installation go flawlessly. Again, thanks.
