Better to keep it the way it was designed. The harder shifting from the shift kit may even be detrimental to the transmission.
Exactly kwren.

What is more normally the dropping resistor introduces a second series of current pulses applied in parallel with the pulse modulated control signal operating line pressure control, solenoid valve "A". These shorter pulses are applied during the off cycles and are timed to check the travel of the armature as it reaches the closed position, thus reducing both shock and noise. These secondary parallel signals in effect, “round off” the closing period and reduce the closing shock.

It will be appreciated that increasing the resistance in the circuit, or opening the circuit by omitting the dropping resistor, has two outcomes. Firstly the relative electrical off time is increased, thus increasing the line pressure and therefore makes shifts more abrupt. Importantly as an undesirable second issue, shock loads applied to the valve are increased.
