If you're running with no resistor, then you may wish to try values other than 10 ohms (the stock resistor). No resistor is essentially equivalent to infinite resistance. Down somewhere around 400-500 ohms the blinking light doesn't occur, but the solenoid receives very little voltage/current and shifting is almost as firm as no resistor. A value of around 60 ohms is what I calculated from an article in Gears Magazine (Auto trans rebuilder trade rag) for a sporty shifting car that still exercised the solenoid.
Going below 10 ohms would soften things more, but the same article warned of excessive current flowing through the solenoid - BTW, 10 ohms is what I calculate as the lower limit he thought should be allowed for operation.
[does this make up - a little - for my earlier worthless post]

YES IT DOES! Actually I have the stock resistor in place but that info is very valuable. Thanks
