I put a B&M shift kit in my th700 recently and noticed that the 1-2 shift is firmer than the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts. Is this normal with this kit?

Re: Shift kit installed, 2-3 weak?

I may be able to awnser my own qestion. The accumulator valve may be too large for the combo I'm using- I've stripped my car down to 3000 lbs and changed the axle ratio to 2.73 (a 4th gen axle) from the stock 3.42. Putting in the shift kit just exaggerated it and made it noticeable. Does this sound right?
