727 Hard Shift from 1st to 2nd...smooth into 3rd

A 1000 rpm disparity between those shifts, if at the exact same throttle setting is too much, or rather would be too much for me to live with.I like moderate upshifts at 2800 to 3200, and lazy upshifts at 1800ish. And each about the same as the other. Your shifts should be much closer together. But really its the other end thats more important;ie the WOT upshifts.
Those shift-points are a personal preference, and at one time,I spent whatever time I needed, to get that. I currently have a 904 set-up like that and I built a cloneVB.
