The cable adjusts on the linkage bracket on the transmission. Very easy to do, raising the csr up will take more time than adjusting.
And shift points on a stock L98 should be about 4200-4700 rpms.

I meant shifting from P to D to N and vice versa. In the earlier models it jerks harder than the later models. Harder shifts during driving is good for performance. Sorry for not clarifying that. It was in my mind but I forget it is the internet and everyone can't clairfy my typing as easy as it would be telling them to there face.

(best Geico caveman voice) Uhhh, what?
When a trans has had the shifts "softened", what that means is the clutch plates are slipping to facilitate a softer shift. Transmission shift kits actually add to transmission life by taking this "slop" out of the shift process.
Also, upping the TCS line pressure in a later 4L60E will accomplish the same result.
FYI, I shift my '96 manually most of the time (with the ASR off, too!), and only let it shift itself if I feel like it.

Sorry for the mix up. I was referring to putting it in gear from Park. Mine jerks really hard and I was told that the later models have a softener which lets the tranny last longer. Your right about the shift kits though. Thanks for pointing out my mistake.
