How long should a shift kit hold up?

Mine is somewhat not as strong compared to when I had it put in, do they normally get weaker and more mushier as time goes on???

if your shift kit is like any i've ever used or installed it should never change. any changes you see or feel would be from wear and tear on other parts within the trans. have you changed your filter and fluid lately?

Yeah, it's not the shift kit that's changing, it's the trannys internals wearing out... Change the fluid/filter yesterday and inspect what comes out and inspect the filter (will have to cut it open)

JGR, Either that, or you've forgotten to reset your TV cable adjustment! Try that first & let us know.
