The Superior Kit has several possible options to solve that problem, including a stronger K2 control valve spring, a small accumulator spring and a large accumulator spring.

Which causes the soft shift? The accumulator or the control valve? Thanks

The kit provides new springs for both, each of which is intended to firm the shift. The accumulator spring is much easier to change, so I would recommend that you start there.
