Shift Kit

[Razor]

I tried searching before doing this and couldnt find the answer I was looking for...here goes.

I own a 1989 turbo T/A.The 1-2 shift is nice and firm.Problem is on WOT the 2-3 shift is a bit sluggish.It is a stock tranny with 17k miles on it.

Question I have is.... if there is a shift kit on the market that will firm up the 2-3 shift under WOT.And not "bang" while piddling around town cruising.And not "bang"1-2 while cruising around.

Art Carr,trans-go,superior,postons,etc....have shift kits.Do any of these or someone elses have the ability to tailor the shift,

Thanks

J.

Hello,


I have driven two differnt TTA's in the last month. They shifted as you desrcibed. I am not a fan of the "kits" out there. IF you insist on a shift kit, you might want to try Bruce's service. You can send him your valve body, and he can modify it for performance shifting.

Thanks,at least I know its not my trans

Can a shift kit be custom tailored in this aspect to not be harsh when normal driving?Or is the fix a high stall converter to soften the blow?
