Should you feel tranny downshift into 1st with shift kit?
As you all know I recently got a shift kit/torque upgrade to my truck. i got a triple disc goerend converter and shift kit and valve body upgrade. all is good and no more slip. but what i do notice more now is obviously more agressive shifting but i also notice i can feel the tranny downshifting into 1st gear when i approach a red light. is this normal? i couldnt feel tranny shift into 1st before ths overhaul.i

On my '05 after installing a shift kit the downshift to first was very noticeable, in fact a clunk. What cured it was reseting the transmission throttle valve actuator. Anytime the valve body is removed the TVA should be reset. This sets the zero position for the throttle valve. Just turn the key to the run position for one minute, do not press on accellerator. This gives the TVA time to reset.

Those built trannys take a little getting used to. Mines a whole different animal now.
Sallyman, I noticed in some of your other post that you are using your tow haul with the new vb and tc upgrade. Is so you might want to check with Dave at Goerends on that because he recommended that I dont use it.
