Harsh shifts are a symptom of too little vacuum given the wear and settings on your particular trans. Details are in the trans manuals above. Just go through the process. Make sure the vac pump is putting out, then adjust the modulator & VCV.

Go back and fix any ancillary vacuum leaks that you have to plug in order to get the shift right. Usually the climate vac pods and possibly the door vacuum locks need attention - and can affect the trans.
