The E4OD transmission is 100% electronic controlled. Check to see if the computer (PCM) thinks there is something wrong: Fuel Injection Technical Library » How To Run a Self-Test

There are many unrelated sensors that can cause the PCM to go into Limp Mode which in turn can cause harsh shifting. Start with the KOEO test and CM code check.

+100 on pulling the codes, and I'd add that since the trans is controlled by the same computer that runs the engine there really are no unrelated sensors.

Yes disconnecting the battery for more than 5 minutes wipes out all computer memory so it'll probably need several drive cycles to relearn and flag the problems.
