Sounds like the shift is not strong enough or held for long enough. Ive seen many times people finding the shift force by loading up the shifting lever with weights until it shifts, and then calling that the shift force. Then they wonder why their actuator wont shift.
To get a good fast shift, you need a pretty brutal actuator.
A hint, the cut time should be the last thing to optimise. You cant set the cut time, until you know how long the shift actually takes! In anycase, start at 500ms and work your way down. If it doesnt work at 500ms, then the hardware needs a rethink.

I doubt that we suffer with force (250N+), the problem was the pneumatic ram it took a massive 150~200ms to fully extend even at 180psi (its rated at 120psi)
