shifting on transgo

ok here it goes, I personally have had B&M shift kit improver, then took it out and purchased the transgo valve body and installed that, it was worth the while I liked it alot. about the shifting heres how I do it and to this day works great ( also if you call transgo there techs will tell you the same thing)

you start in 1st gear, floor it and whatever your shift point is mines -5100 or 5500 rpms -I shift into 2nd as soon as you feel that the car has shifted into 2nd gear and of course do not let go of the gas you then bring it back down to 1st gear again, nothing should happen you should still be climbing in RPMs and speed once again you will hit your shift point in which you bring it back up to 2nd gear, this time the car shifts gears from 2nd to 3rd there after you shift upward to 3rd gear which now is 4th. h

hope this helps. but if this does not happen or if your car is not shifting properly then you have a diffrent issue.

im understanding that...from there how would daily driving work, would you ever start in (d) drive and perform as a normal automatic with different shift points? If not how does this "manual" shifting for everyday driving work out.

thanks for your reply and assistance

Punk, did you buy a shift kit or a manual valve body?
The valve body requires manual shifting, i don't think the shift kit should.

The car dies when the Transmission shifts into 2nd, and it takes 10-15 seconds before it can actually shift into Reverse.
