distinguishing between firm and harsh shifts

[mgrotel]

how do you tell? my 1-2 shakes the whole truck under partial throttle

If it shakes the truck its too harsh. Whats the condition of the tranny or transfer case/engine mounts? is line pressure set to stock?

[CUGMC]

i've got a similar shudder from 1-2. doesn't shake the truck but it is noticeable.

Mine chirps them into second at half throttle. I like it :biggrin:

not sure on the mounts, just had a vette servo, transgo kit, sep plate, and servo release check valve put in and the 1-2 is much firmer than the rest, pretty sure the line pressure is stock, i told wheatley to leave that alone cause the shift kit and other stuff was going in

was the hd2 kit installed? if so how many spacers were put in the accumulator housing?

Firm is when it jerks a little. Harsh is when you hear the dash shift a little. Harsh is not good.

yes, it was the hd2 kit. dont know on the spacers, maybe i will call him monday. i talked to him today and he assured me that it would not hurt the tranny. im getting used to it though, i dont even have to be wot to chirp these 37s
