Default Shifting Issue - 700R4

The problem I've been having is late and hard shifts under light to medium throttle. And when I'm crusing through the neighborhood at about 25mph, if I give it light throttle, it "stutters" like it can't decide what to do.

I've installed the BTO TVMadeEZ kit, with the exception of the valve spring. I've used to pressure gauge and all my pressures look good. Could it be the valve spring that is giving me issues? I've read through the whole BTO website and my problem sounds like their "Long Spring Syndrome". I'm just wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue.

The TV Made EZ kit geometry is designed with the provided spring in mind.

If you haven't installed it, you don't have an appropriate baseline for doing this. Install the spring and reset everything according to pressures, then see if you still have the problem. (you'll need to do the pressure calibration again, because this spring will affect the line pressure of the transmission.)

Will do.

the pressure spring is key to the set up.
