Well after removing the differential cushions they were pretty bad. It's hard to check these without removing them. So put in the new ones. Helped quite a bit...still pretty hard shifting into drive but better... no clunk. Went to see my transmission man and let him drive me around a little. He said it is right were it should be...shifts into 2nd at 20 mph under light throttle and into 3rd at 30 mph. He said the shift kit firms up the shifts but the pressure is higher so going into gear is a little firmer. But I have managed to tune a little more and got the idle down a little more and now It's pretty good. Told you guy's I'd let ya know how it turned out...Thanks for the help. By the way, I replaced the cushions without removing the drive shaft. It can be done but if any of you guy's take out your drive shaft this would be one of those while your at it things.
Thanks again.

Thanks BIO for letting us know. Glad you let us know what you found. We all learn from each others experience. Glad things are working out. The lower you can idle it down the better. I have my idle speed down to 500RPM and it don't bang too hard going into drive and reverse.
