[V8] Transmission shifts hard

[Ed Kellock]

Not sure if it's relative in this case, but one potential catch-all remedy
is to do the old drain and refill to make sure the fluid level is correct.
I believe it would also apply to the 4.2 cars.

If you pull the drain plug on the bottom of the transmission, let it drain,
then refill through the tube in the engine compartment, adding only 4 quarts
of the proper fluid, that will ensure that the level is at least correct,
then you can see how she shifts.
