When my tranny was built 5 years ago the builder said he drilled out the seperator plate and removed the check balls to firm up the 1-2,2-3,3-4shift and check ball for l/u to lock up conv faster.
It has very hard 1-2 shift,chirps at 15mph,2-3 was ok,3-4 was very hard. When I build it shortly I don't want it to shift so hard at low throttle position.
Bruce will your shift kit do this for me or has he messed up my valve body? I believe he only drilled the sep plate and removed the check balls. I like the neck snapping shifts at 3/8 and greater throttle but not when idling around town-the 1-2 would actually make my CD player skip @12mph and no throttle!
What to look for on the valve body that couldn't be "backed out"? Waiting on lotto so Bruce can build me a real tranny!
