Auto shifts hard. Why?

Auto shifts hard. Why?
My automatic transmission shifts hard in all gears all the time. I doubt that the lady that had it before me had the VB mod done.
What could it be? Trans going bad? No CEL.
(95 GXE, auto, 84K, will change ATF asap)

maxeff- if you have a little bit too much its ok. if its way over..drain some out, and try to bolt on while all that fluid is gushing out.
zir- dealer ATF is overpriced. get the same grade of ATF as the one nissan recommends(dextron III) and you'll be just fine. i use vavoline(blue bottle, not the high milage red bottle) ATF for over 100,000 miles now. i drain/refill ~13,000miles though..

But what would happen if i put too much and how would i know if i put too much fluid because everytime i pull the stick out the thing i only see tranny fluid on the dead edge of the stick but i put in about 6 1/2 to 7 QT after i changed the gasket.

If you put in 6 1/2 -7 quarts after changing the gasket, it may be over-filled. When I drained mine, it took exactly 4 1/2 quarts (I measured what came out). A little over full shouldn't hurt. I've heard that being really over-filled can blow seals, but I've never experienced it.

Thanks, i will do that but i let it drain like for 52 mins so everything came out. but when i did drain it filled up a 7 1/2 quart bucket and then i had to move that and drain more and that was from stock.

I have a similar problem, but instead of shifting hard in all gears, its only from first to second. I doubt it could be engine mounts, maybe ATF, any thoughts?

Something could be wrong with the line pressure sensor. If it malfunctions, it could make the transmission shift like it has the VB mod.
