Default How many spacers for TRANSGO Shift Kit???

I was wondering what all the daily drivers out there with the transgo shift kit are doing about the number of spacers that are put into the accumulator. Right now I have 2 spacers and am thinking of 1 or none. What are others feelings on this? Is none too drastic of a change? I am looking for the shifts to be fast but not hard. With the 2 spacers the 1-2 shift is quick and FIRM and then everything else is fine. The 2-3 shift is quick and seemless. That is what I am looking for on the 1-2. Any Suggestions?

Most people install two, I put in one. The wheels will chirp if desired but not in normal traffic; this is in a 2.73 rear end A4.

I have 1 spacer and A & E drilled to .150. The rest is to the instructions. It shifts firm and quick, but not hard. The plate hole sizes will make all the shifts equal in firmness and quickness. If you have a programming tool you can further change the settings to your liking and each shift will always be equal.
