I have mine set so that at idle, light throttle and decel the stock resistor is used, at heavy throttle the resistor is bypassed causing a firm shift. If you turn it too much it acts just like the removed-resistor mod and the transmission will hunt for gears when driving in traffic/slowly, thus spending fifty bucks for a free mod.

Ok, let's not get bogged dwn with semantics - the adjustment screw just raises or lowers the threshold at which point the shifts become firmer. I bought the new shift kit and putting the adjusting screw on the firmest setting doesn't cause my trans to hunt for gears on decel. I also have no blinking power light on start-up which some members who own the older shift kit have reported.
Everything works flawlessly and is well worth the $50!
