For shifts that are softer, I'd go with the HD2 kit with no washers installed...

you'll want to get the HD2. No questions about it.

That's what I ran on my rebuilt FLT unit on my 01. Still shifted plenty firm (chirp tires) but I also don't know if FLT did any other shift firming changes.

line pressure in the tune?? that would/could have been one reason why you were chirping on the shift....?

Don't forget to order the hardened separator plate. You'd about as well do it as long as you are going to be in there for the shift kit.
