Pishta is right about the shift kit possibly swapping the accumulator spring for a blocker rod. That part of the mod makes it shift firmer into 2nd gear but it can also make it rough going into reverse because there's no dampening there. I don't do that mod on a car unless it has a high stall converter to dampen the shift into reverse.
Just so I am reading this right, you are saying that the someone who installed a "shift kit" in my trans may have removed the accumulator spring and installed a blocker rod, correct? Just checking, in case I get in that far.
