Sorry to bug you guys about this thing again when I'd rather bug you about my RR, but...

I'd like to make the trans last as long as possible without taking it out. Will a mild shift kit reduce band wear, and if so, what's the recommendation on shift kit manufacturers and trans shops in the Seattle/Tacoma area?

FWIW, I drive the D like an old man (which, of course, I am. )

TIA,
Marq
