Now reducing the Base shift Pressure values will soften them

Make sure the builder didnt mess around with the screw on the back of the force motor. That + increased shift pressures in tune === really hard shifts.

LOL how about spit ball proof?:nunchuk1:

Seriously it sounds like the op has some good parts in his unit. Many things can make these units shift hard as we all know. Sometimes I think that it takes time and experience to nail it the first time every time. Good to hear the OP has it all worked out.

I do not believe the wood Bullet Proof should ever be used unless you drive an armored car! Just saying. Vince

i thought bulletproof too. had the transgo reprogrammer kit in mine, hardened parts, and billet servos. worthless shop overcharged me and then put stock outputshaft back in cause "it doesnt usually break" lol yeah rite. mine lasted almost 6000 miles with the hard shifts. too much cast steel and aluminum parts in 4l60e to be bulletproof.
