Yes you can adjust the shift point to some extent.
The only things that are electronic on these trany's are converter lock-up,
overdrive shift, and it does have an electronic gov.
You still can adjust the shift points with the TV cable.
If the trany's were fully electronic ( no TV ) I would agree with you, but they
still use a manual TV to control the kick down and the shift points. The only
thing that the computer does to control shift firmness and to some extent the
shift points is with the electronic GOV. but this is only under part throttle
and has no effect on WOT.
This is why installing the JET stage II chip firms up the part throttle shifts
( it increases the gov. pressure a little more ).
Believe me that these things are a little tricky and Yes a shift kit ( TRANSGO
) is the only way to. All that the shift kit does is up the pressure in
different areas and gives you the holes to enlarge in the plate as well as the
VB.
I have had my VB off at least a dozen times to fine tune it. I opened up a few
of the holes a little larger than the Kit said to do but it works very well. I
call the TRANSGO tech man after doing this and he agreed that I had went the
right way on everything.
FWIW
