Could be that your vacuum is too low causing a very hard shift. T a vacuum gauge into the line going to the modulator run it up thru the cowl and lay the gauge outside the windshield where it is visible and go for a drive using varying pedal pressure on the accelerator to see what the vacuum levels are and how they related to the noise. I've driven a 116 where the vacuum level was so low it chirped the tires almost everytime it shifted from 1st to 2nd.
