Depends on what kind of shift kit was used, and any other mods done to it.
How is the idle RPM?
If the line pressure was increased with the shift kit, that will make it hit hard when you put it in gear, as well as leaving out the cushion plates in the clutch drums, which is sometimes done on "hot rod" transmissions....you might want to have a talk with whomever did the trans, and ask a few questions...
Also, what kind of torque converter do you have?
