As long as the trans. shifts cleanly it's no problem but I can tell you it sometimes takes work to get a torqueflite to shift cleanly. As Guitar Jones said it's all about band release and clutch apply timing. A lot of guys think a hard, neck snapping shift is good when that's not always the case. Sometimes their feeling shift overlap which is extremely detrimental to a trans. It takes a well trained feel to tell what's actually happening.
