I had a 1993 4.3 W/T with the 4l60e. From 1st to 2nd it would snap your neck. It always shifted like that. I had the tranny rebuild, and it still shifted that way. A friend, that works on transmissioons, somehow found out that this was a problem that GM had. There is a repair kit for this. It has something to do with either replaceing a spring in the valvebody, or just cutting down the existing spring.
