nope they are one in the same. the factory hydrolics suck so the shift kit inhanses line pressures and suck and the factory TC's dong have enough frinction material to hold any tourue. so your tranny will granade without upgrading both. you can find good single disks for around $300 and a shift kit is like $80 if you di it yourself

Save up your $$$ and do a TC and a new valve body at the same time.
