5AT Shift Improver Kit

I am new to this forum, (I just got my g35 today)
My friend was telling me about the shift improver kits for the 5AT G35 coupe.
You can change the settings on the delayed shift times for the AT, and you can change the whole automatic style more like to manual.
Can someone help me find this or tell me if it exists?
thanks.
-Josh

I've never heard of it. I have heard of grounding kits improving AT shift responsiveness.

look at Gtm website for the valvebody upgrade. GTM and Forged sell the transgo kit for around $250 and you can have a local transmission shop install it for less down time. Stick with GTM, Forged, or SGP valve bodies. good luck

I have to shift a good 800 rpms early to NOT bounce of the rev limiter.. This AT is very sluggish and I hate the way it drives in "D"

The valvebody mod really does make a huge difference.I have the forged performence v/b and it shifts fast and hard when your getting on the throtlle but is pretty tame on normal driving.

$250 for the valve body upgrade and then have it installed on the tranny at my local shop???

I thought those things were a lot more expensive.
