drive it more, the rest of the shifts will probaly soften up to. you dont want the cummins to slam like some of the gasser's do. you will destroy things. if it gets really soft you will probaly need to open up the 2-3 feed hole in the VB

Thanks For The Advise But I Want The Shift To Be Firm And The Valve Body Is Already New And Is From Bd Diesel Performance Warranty Won't Allow Drilling Out Vb Holes Also Engine Produces Excessive Power Trans Slipping Is Sure To Wear Clutchs Out Prematurly This Is The Reason For Stiff Shifts

Perhaps the tranny fluid has not made it to all the places it should be? That would be wishful thinking however since it was working fine for a couple of days... Sorry to hear

perhaps check the fluid level again?

Good luck
