Default rear gear or shift kit for AOD?????????

i was wondering since i have a AOD should i get a new 3.73 gear or a trans go shift kit first?

would the new gear not make as much of a differene with the sloppy auto shifting?

but on the other hand would the crisp shift with a weak grear be any better?

either way i plan on doing both soon but i have to do one at a time b/c of my lack of $$$$$$$$$.

please let me know what you think.

if you're looking for the performance...gears first.. .it will go fast no matter what.. the shift kits are there to make the shifts higher and more precise. some kill tranny's tho.. The newer dodge autos blow apart due to fluid restrictions..
