hey guy's i was thinking today & want to here your guy's thought's on the TF-3 kit. im running 1 in my 81 shorty 2wd & it shift's HARD, meaning it kinda make's the truck buck a little, now i was told it's the way i shift?? your supposed to let of the gas & then shift... i am not running a kick down cable the lever it open all the way IIRC could that be the problem?? i have told it's normal of the tf-3 kit to shift hard but want to hear your guy's input.. thanks

No, don't lift on shifts on a MVB auto. It shifts hard because you've got a manual valve body. Theres no throttle pressure input, you've got full line pressure all the time, so the way the transmission sees it you are always at WOT. If you want soft shifts you need an automatic valve body and a throttle pressure lever setup.

You can hook up the kickdown linkage with the tf-3 kit and it will make the shifts much less harsh at part throttle

thats what i thought, so it's normal i ain't going to worry to much about it.. thanks guy's
