Re: Free Smallcar shift kit.

Hi Rebbecca,
I saw your post (pretty generous offer!)and your comment that

"the 4.44 it made the shifts way too firm. To the point where it would slam into second. I wouldn't recommend this shift kit for a SVX with the 4.44."

As a recent convert to 4.44 {an excellent job by AllWellDrive BTW] I thought my conversion bang shifted into second when accelerating very slowly on level or downhill. Seeing your comment, I made a jumper to bypass the kit. No improvement. Which leads me to the question, did you try adjusting the vacuum switch? Maybe you had a vacuum leak affecting its operation, causing the circuit to the resistor to open "early" ?
I have had the kit since we bought the car, disconnecting it was very noticeable at about 1/2 throttle accelerating. It is like a slipping clutch without it. Do you notice this effect?
