First off, there's a good bit of info on this simply by googling, so try starting there.
First, put in a trans cooler. AW4's run hot and heat kills transmissions.
RAdesigns has a manual shifter.

The AW4 is the same thing as the toyota A340 trans. Anything you see for the A340 should work for the AW4.
The only real upgrades are a modified valve body and HD clutch packs. Valve body can be had for $600 if you send yours in or adding $1000 for a core charge. The HD rebuild kit can be had for ~$550.
However, these involve teardown/rebuild. Good luck.

Level10 has the HD clutch rebuild kit for the A340/AW4

IPT also carries a nice rebuild kit
http://www.importperformancetrans.co...tes--1785.html
JeeperzCreeperz also has one

FWIW, More AW4 info (sorry to cross forums):
