200-4R shift kit question

Hey all I just bought a TransGo HD2 shift kit. My question is this. They give you a chioce to make the 1-2 shift hard or soft. Now I am betting the soft is still much firmer than stock, but I could be wrong. But how much so? I don't want t brutal 1-2 shift when it is in automatic mode as I was this to be a nice all around car. So does anyone have any experice with this to give me an idea of how hard the soft and hard shifts really are?

They're not that hard. Even at the second stage. It won't even chirp 3rd gear in that big ol wagon I bet. Let me find you a link. F-85 on this board put my 72 skylark motor and th350 in a 61 buick Special and took video while driving it once the shift kit was done.
