Just got a built tranny now ????
I just had it built with the Probuilt limited street kit with vaccum modulation. Here's the link http://www.700r4l60e.com/store/customer/home.php?cat=22 as far as whats in the kit. My 1-2 shift has a nice jerk to it I could at part throttle I could understand at WOT but not part throttle. Also when the tranny goes to lock the converter its pretty hard/snappy with no delay. Its more noticeable when hit your tap the breaks and you feel a jerk from the converter locking up again like another gear shift. Do I have anything to worry about or is that how built trannies are suppose to be? I want to start spraying again but I don't want to mess up the tranny if something is wrong.

The part throttle hard shift is probably caused by too many of the washers in the 1-2 accumulator.
Just take the pan off and the three bolts for the accumulator housing and remove washers. I've come to believe from what people have been saying, that they think these washers are the shift kit.
They only make part throttle shifts annoying and slightly speed up high throttle shifts.
The converter operation sounds about right, it helps to eliminate the lock up in third and program it to lock up at a higher mph.

I was told that the shift kit only has one washer
and the converter locking up in third is programed by edit.
They may have made it stay locked through the 3-4 shift which would make a hard 3-4 shift and eventually kill a converter thats not designed for that type of operation.
The kit converts it to non pwm lock up, so instead of pulsing the converter apply it just applies it with one shot.
I have the kit and have dealt with these issues. If you don't like it have it programmed to lock up at a higher mph and only in fourth. Thats what I did and it works fine for me.
Just my opinion a performance trans should shift firm, tcc is really another shift so thats included.

No I put the stock tune back in it some what except for the TM. I put my line pressure back to tsock and adjusted my shift points a little more towards stock.
