Sounds like it needs a governor recalibration kit. I had to do this to my 5.3/th400 swapped k5 took several trys but I finaly got it to my liking.

if you put the transgo spring in the govenor it will only shift when you manually shift it..

on the actual soft shifts, what size stall you running?

If i manually shift it it will lets it go till i shift but not as hard as i would like it to!
The stall is a 2600-2800 RPM B&M
