The one I did was easy, pulled the valve body out, drilled a couple holes, replaced a couple springs, and I think some shift detents. The shift kit came with a instructions and a video on what to do.

A shift kit is simply a different transmission valvebody that allows more pressure. And no you wouldn't have to remove the transmission unless you want to change your torque converter. A torque converter controls what rpm the gears shift at. So a 2-300 rpm stall converter with. A shift kit will improve the shift points.

checkout this forum there is a lot more specific details that they can provide.
