Your local Dodge dealership can supply you with a Mopar Performance Shift Improver Kit, I installed one and it works GREAT, set it up for "heavy duty/racing" unless you just want nonbone jarring shifts. lol
You can go full shift kit @ twice the price but its really meant for full race, I think Turbo Action makes them.
Good luck, Scott

Sorry took so long to reply Intense, been real busy at work.
Got the package in front of me and all it says is "Shift Kit A500 Lock-Up" its part# P5249640.
I'll ask my friend at the Dodge parts counter if its the same.

i know for a fact that www.truckperformance.com carries the transgo shift for the 42re... i have heard that the 42 and the a500 are basically the same thing... wonder if that mopar one will fit?

I found these kits for $44.95, pretty cheap!
http://www.mopartsracing.com/parts/trans.html
It only says 89-94, will it work?
My truck is a 1998 318 automatic, which one will I need? (I think its an A-518)
Thanks

Anyone?
Like I said, its a 98 so it is a 42re (or is it 44re) which is the same as A-518. I think anyway?
Hey FazDak is this kit easy to install in a driveway?

i think the 42 is just an electronic version of the A-500 and the 44 an electronic version of the A-518... that's the impression i got from www.converters.com

4wDakota, its not real hard but I have done quite a few shift kits in my time so it may sseem a little easier to me.
Make sure to have a VERY clean work bench to do the valve body work on.
Intense, what do you think they mean by "electronic"? seems a hydraulic trans cant be anything else?
Good luck, Scott

So can I put this in a 1998 transmission, it says only through 1994? Do you guys know if there was a major change in the transmissions?
Thanks,
