2004R shifting with a jolt.

[CHEVYTOWN]

When the trans is cold, it shifts with a crazy jolt. After it warms up, it does not do it as bad, but still shifts hard. Is this the shift kit? When I originally bought the trans, I was told by Phoenix that it had a shift kit installed. Is this what they mean by "firm shift"??

One other thing is puzzling. From 2nd gear going onto 3rd, If I let off the gas before it crescendo's into 3rd(D), it CLUNKS into 3rd (D) instead of staying in 2nd. Can anything be done about the harsh CLUNKS?

I believe the TV cable is set correctly.

Hey BUICKTOWN. How's it goin'?

It's difficult to tackle issues such as these when the transmission mods are unknown. Can you get someone at Phoenix to tell you what valve body kit was used during the rebuild? Problem is, there are so many on the market, each with their own twist, that there's no telling what could be causing your concerns.

Specifically, find out how the accumulators are set up, any servo mods performed, pressure regulator mods and any other pertinent valve body/separator plate mods.

based on experience a 2/3 clunk is a hole too big in the seperator plate .you may want to start by installing a gm part number 8657309
