1-2 shifts are fine, but the 2-3 shift hits really hard, enough to jolt you
back in your seat. Is this normal? Any help would be appreciated since I
have to do any work on this tranny myself now that the shop is refusing to
honor their warranty.

I've done shift kits in the past (although never on a dodge or with a
transgo kit) but it would seem to me that they put the springs in the wrong
places. there are springs inside the valve body that help to hold
checkballs in place and move pistons and such. Being as that usually you
want the 1-2 shift harder than the 2-3, i'd be willing to bet they got the 2
springs mixed up. If you've got the instructions that came with the kit,
you might want to take a look at it and see what it takes to firm/loosten up
that shift.
