350 Transmission shifting strong
 
I recently replaced the coolant lines for the transmission. Previous owner used the wrong type of line and they started leaking real bad.

I got that fixed. No leaks now and the truck is running real good. (knock,knock).

So good that now if I accelerate from a stop and push on it pretty good the tires will chirp going into second and even a light chirp into third.

It's shifting real smooth if I pull away normally and even when I push it hard its not a real hard shift.

Goes into first nice and easy from park. I'm wondering if this is normal from a 350 SB / 350 turbo combo?

Fluid levels look good too.

Sounds like you might have a shift kit in it.

Great to hear! Yes, transmission fluid leaks will affect line pressure and reduce transmission longevity.

Not sure about the shift kit.
