At least in the p71 world the 4r70w is known to break those springs and usually the owner doesnt know until they pull the valve body for whatever reason. I forget whether its the upper or lower spring that will affect shift firmness more though. One of mine was probably broken on my old 98 p71. That thing could chirp the tires on the 1-2 shift if I gave it some gas lol and the transmission was untouched.

Same here 1-2 will chirp tires even go sideways if I really give it hell
I would not go back to a regular shift
With 373 gears and and no cats the car definitely pulls hard

Mine broke the lower spring , but the problems were with 2 to 3 and 3 to 4 shifting , It wanted to shift into those gears too fast , then it would bog the motor , at low rpm , like below 1200 rpm , as long as your over about 1300 to 1500 it was ok , or if your driving it hard it shift fine

Youre referring to stacked shifts. That happens when you change the rear gear. A tune could fix that, Im not sure the jmod will though.
