My friend just bought a truck and the previous owner said he had a shift kit and torque converter put into it. The truck will chirp the tires and shift very hard when going from 1st to 2nd. Like from a stop if you take off and accelerate hard it will go up to a high RPM and then slam into 2nd and chirp the tires. Is this normal? I dont know what kind of shift kit but do shift kits do this? Is it possible that the guy said this to hide a bad tranny?
Is there a way to distinguish if there really is a shift kit installed or if it's a tranny that's slipping or having problems? It does shift a little hard from 2-3 but all these hard shifts are when under heavy gas or acceleration. Around town and smooth driving you never notice any hard shifts and going into Drive or Reverse doesn't clunk either.
