any my mega shifter is brand new so cable it tight,

What exactly do you mean by your box flares between gears? Does it rev like it's slipping heaps, or is it just laggy due to having no shiftkit? Before I'd fitted my shiftkit my auto would lag by up to 800rpm, I found that tipping the shifter at 5000rpm WOT meant an actual gearchange at 5800rpm. As mentioned in a previous post, fitting a mild shift kit dropped this to 200rpm tops (coupled with 4.11s which means the car revs up quicker... with no shift kit I'd guess it would've lagged by 1000rpm).
If you want to shift manually with no shift kit, shift earlier than you want to, that way by the time the box has made up it's mind to change gears, you've shifted at the "correct" RPM. Or, get an electronic or mechanical shift kit again & shift a lot closer to your desired RPM. You don't need a bullshit get-the-car-skating shiftkit, just something moderate that cuts out all the lag/"flare"

stav - fordmods should have something to help you out with electronic shift kits
Commando wrote:Stav, get a very mild ("stage 1" or mildest electronic) shift kit sorted out for your box, as I said you only want it to reduce lag, not get the arse out of shape.
