Auto Trans Adjustments
My auto has harsh gear changes. Are there any adjustments that can be done? Am going to change the fluid on it so is there anything that needs to be done while the pan's off?

I'm not sure about adjustments, mine needed a good flushing out, it was doing the same thing. Because of blockages the pressure builds up and causes hard gear changes.

Thnx for the response. Flushing out? Am getting a pan gasket which, I assume comes with a filter, but how does one go about flushing out an auto trans?

before you do any of that, check the kick down cable adjustment at the throttlebody... if it is set too tight, it will cause harsh shifting!
