high stalls make your shifts feel mushier. I think it is just a byproduct of the higher rpm differential from a high stall.

Just go out and mash it a few times and you'll go from to

scalemaster,
Like Ragtop indicated, the shifts will lose some firmness when you install a high stall converter. That's why people usually install a shift kit at the same time. TCI's shift kit for the LT1 and LS1 4L60E is part number 376001.

sm, how many washers did you use on the accumulator? The more you use, the harder the 1-2 shift. I have the TCI 3500 and their shift kit and the 1-2 shift is plenty firm enough (not part throttle tire chirping, I don't like that.)

Col, How many washers from the transgo kit did you put in the 2nd accumulator for your aforementioned results? I am in the middle of installing a tci 3000 and am wondering, been going thru posts trying to decide 2 or 3? TIA

Doc, I don't know how many washers TCI used when they installed this shift kit. When I had a TransGo installed in my '00, we used 2 washers with the 3500 stall and 3 with the 4600 stall...best I remember.
