Awhile back, I was getting the p1870 code along with the harsh shifts (all gears worked, just harsh shifting after long periods of driving). So I got the Trans-go HD2 shift kit and installed it. After that, no more harsh shifting or codes.
When I test drove the car for the first time after installing the shift kit, I didn't have the snap-ring on the servo properly secured and the servo cap came loose and sprayed all 5 quarts of transmission fluid down the road. So the transmission ran with little to no fluid for about 2 miles. During those 2 miles, it ran out and I had to put another quart in and then it ran out again but at that point, I was able to coast down hill to my house. The next day, I replaced the o-ring on servo, properly secured the snap-ring, and filled it up with 5 quarts of transmission fluid and some lucas transmission additive.
Only one problem though, 3rd gear is acting kind of weird. It feels the car shifts 4 times as if it had 5 gears. When it goes to shift into 3rd, it does a soft shift and then a sec or two later, it feels like a normal firm shift, and then eventually it shifts into 4th just fine. It doesn't leak and the fluid is full. So does anyone know what's going on?
Note: While installing shift kit, I used one shim for the servo and 2 spacers in trans (the very firm setting).
