4l60E has a soft 2-3 shift after transgo HD2 install
I've searched around a little and couldn't find anything like what I have going on. I installed my Transgo HD2 shift kit, Corvette 2nd/Sonnax 4th servo, Sonnax servo release check valve, Transgo forward accumulator piston and I drilled the Transgo separator plate as follows, 1-2 holes to .082 and .093 for the rest. After driving it for a week everything seemed to settle in nice except for the 2-3 shift. It shifts fine under half throttle or more but seems to be pretty soft and prolonged with less throttle. It seems a little softer than stock even. Anyone have any similar experiences?

I have a B&M shift kit in my 82 blazer and the 2-3 hits harder as you hit the throttle harder, like yours. But my 05 has a Dale Younger shift kit and every gear is a bang for its buck at any point in the throttle. You should be fine.

I drilled the same for the 2-3 shift in my seperator plate. Under normal driving it feels stock but with WOT my 2-3 shift is hard and fast. Have you retuned after the shift kit?

I went back to my stock pressure and zeroed out the shift time in both tables. I didn't want to increase the line pressure until I figured out what to do for the 2-3 shift. I can just imagine the trans taking a

Sorry to say man but if your going to use the maggie the way it was ment to be used (or the way you want to use it) start looking into a built trans now. As for your 2-3 shift that is soft with less throttle after the HD-2 install, I would not worry to much about it.
