Hello everyone I bought an 89 Camaro a while ago and it had a shift kit already in it. It wasn't so bad as 1-2 is really hard but the rest are good so I was just letting off the gas from 1-2 and it was good.

However it's pretty annoying to constantly do so I'm wondering if there's a way to soften the 1-2 shift? It's so hard the tires brake lose it caused the car to slide out a couple weeks ago. It also shifts super heard from park or neutral to reverse or drive I saw the tires actually spin when it shifted.

Im most likely going to do a flush again as it had some very thin clear fluid in it and it ruined the first flush. So if I have to take the pan off its not a big deal but is there anything i can do to soften these shifts?

 

Put a stall converter in it

 

oh boy, don't i have to drop the whole transmission to do that?

don't get me wrong i probably need to eventually because they left the stock one in. how long would you say dropping the tranny takes?

 

It only takes me about 2 hrs to R&R a automatic

 

While the pan is down check the 2nd accumulator. It may be that the spring broke or that it is blocked. Easy fix if so.
