I believe the harsh shift is more of a characteristic of how close the gear ratio is between both gears more than anything else. While it is sort of sucky that it shifts the way it does, it is not something I am worried about at this point, especially given that I have a gen 1 valve body and my tranny is in good condition.
This is just one of those behavioral quirks from the transmission that owners of the A10 have to live with and there is no amount of tuning, or mechanical tinkering that will make it go away short of a full overhaul and redesign within those specific gears.

What does the hard shifting feel like for you? For me it almost feels like I’m hitting the rev limiter. Car just completely falls forward on itself and jolts. What’s interesting is that it never once happened at WGI when it was 95F ambient. I wonder if it’s fluid expansion related. Which is why I’m considering adding 1 to 1/2 cup of extra fluid
