727 with Trans-Go shift kit, 5,800 A&A gov, and 4,000 PTC converter. 3.91 rear gears in a street/strip car. I have been running this tranny for a while and it works real well. Good automatic shifts and right on 5,800. But if I jump on it with the selector in 1 and manually shift to 2, the delay for it to shift to 2nd is enormous, often hitting the rev limiter.

No matter how early I slip the shifter to 2, the actual shift is way late. The 2-3 shift is right after the shifter is moved, so the delayed manual 1-2 shift is the only issue I have with this tranny.

This is not the first tranny I have had that has a delayed manual 1-2 shift, but this one seems to be a bit more exaggerated than others.

Any way to get the tranny to go into 2nd when I move the shifter? And no, I don't want to put a manual valve body in.

Thanks!
