Mine shifts like a normal gasser trans when at WOT. Revs up to near redline and goes up a gear. When my FILP was out of adjustment (after changing IP pump), shifting was really bad and off. Did you make any changes recently? Was it shifting right before and this just started happening?

Harder shifts are easier on a auto tranny than soft gentle shifts.

Sounds like you have one or more of the "sensors" out. Is your o/d lite flashing on the shift leaver? You can always get the codes read. The trans needs the tac to be working correctly, the VSS and the FIPL in correct adjustment. If you have gone into "failure " mode, do not drive, you will fry the T/C and other things.
