Hard shifting

I’ve got a 1996 f350 with 270k. The E40D was having problems about 10k miles ago so I had it rebuilt and the problem persists. It shifts from 1st to 2nd smoothly but rpms will come right up to the redline before slamming into gear, but if I let off the gas before then it will shift very smoothly. I’ve replaced the speed sensor and the bps and have had psom repairs with module mechanics. Ive never put a tuner on it but have noticed 2 holes drilled into the dash for a tuner mount from the previous owner. What can I do about my shift points?

You could check for codes. That's always the first thing to do when these trucks are not operating properly.

Tuning will take care of shift points and pressures.
