So.... your saying its a delayed shift. The only thing I can think of is the shifter kit. Unless you forget to mention a modified or upgraded MAF. That would require the computer to be tuned for porper shifts.

i've had the shift kit for almost 20,000 miles and hasnt caused a single problem. then out of the blue this starts happening. i did have a jet MAF on but only for about a week then i switched back to stock cause of all the problems people were having. so i took it off. that was over 15,000 miles ago.
