I'm not sure what shift kit it has. It's an automatic in a 1988 Trans Am. I've had the car for about 8 months. It use to shift hard but now it doesn't.

You may not have a 'shift kit' at all. These cars tend to act as you describe from the factory. A true Shift Kit (TransGo) isn't about how hard it shifts, but instead is about fixing the causes of complaints and failures in a particular transmission.
