Smoother shifts after 3500 stall

[ssms5411]

I took the car out the other day with the new TCI 3500 stall and got on it for a bit and noticed the shifts were smoother than before. I have a transgo shift kit and vette servo and before the stall it would jerk the car when it shifted now its like a normal shift. Any ideas or is this normal for aftermarket stalls? Thanks

It's normal with a higher stall TC. Your trans is shifting just as quickly as before, but the TC is softening the "blow" feeding into the trans input. Your trans will last longer this way.

Thanks for the reponse, after driving it to the mechanics on Monday I noticed I don't have power to the tranny so 1st and 4th gear are out. When I did the m5 to A4 swap I had to run a separate wire to power the tranny so I'll look there first when I get it back. So what I thought was light shifting was just the tranny in limp mode. My mistake from 2ND to 3rd it shifted fine.

it'll kick you in the *** when it shifts with the stall and transgo...especially if you drilled the holes bigger for more pressure with the shift kit like I did...mine kicked you in the *** 1-2 pretty hard...whip lash you pretty good if you weren't expecting it lol
