I have a shift kit in my AOD, along with some other mods. Mine does not do that, it has good firm hard shifts almost instantly. With that said, a word of advice. Hard throttle shifts between 3rd and 4th is usually what will burn an AOD up (stock AOD).

If u are driving it hard, u need to lock 4th out. If u want to be able to drive it hard in and out of 4th gear, there are a few fairly simple modifications you are gonna need to do.
