yes that is what a shift kit does, also what speed stall converter does he have? on my 700r4 with the 2500 stall speed i can "tune" my TV cable to give me reall mushy shifts or really strong shifts, i don't think on most shifts i have even hit my stall speed before the car is shifting

Shop around you might find out you can get it done pretty reasonably mine came with a two year 24,000 mile warranty.
