Transgo Shift kit
I am pulling the tranny to check and make sure everything is ok. . .while I have the tranny out, we are inspecting the shift kit.
The shift kit only allowed me to manually shift from 1st to 2nd. From what I understand, it should also allow me to manually shift from 2nd to 3rd. Also, it seems to me the 2-3 shift was not firm enough.
Any advice on getting the transgo kit setup would be much appreciated.

Re: Transgo Shift kit (hogurt)
If you have the "automatic kit" you should be able to upshift or downshift from any gear. The 1-2 shift firmness is controlled by 1-2 accumulator washer settings; 2 or 3 washers in your case with stall conv. The 2-3 shift fimness at part throttle is controlled by the PCM in the "base pressure vs. torque tables." The 2-3 shift also has a little delay when manually shifting from 2-3. You should let the auto do the shifting by setting your upshift and downshift MPH values (LS1-Edit). To firm up the 2-3 upshift, set the base pressure values to 50 PSI "normal third" from 0-190 lb. ft. The tranny will shift almost as fast and firm as the 1-2 upshift.
I talked to Transgo about this and they suggested some larger separator plate holes but this did not help with 2-3 manual shifting firmness or speed except for WOT.
