*Incorrect outputs from the Distance or Coolant Sensors. A punky Distance Sensor can caused a weird collection of symptoms, including no 3-4 shift.

When I’m driving, and the car changes from 1st to 2nd gear and with my foot on the accelerator, the engine sputters and the car loses power and then slowly catches up. It also does this when going from 2nd to 3rd. But its not there (or at least noticeable) when going from 3rd to 4th gear. No check engine light warning either.
What should I do if my transmission shifts hard?
Clean or change this spring and put all the components back together to reassemble the transmission. If you have not changed the fluid and replaced the filter already, do that while changing these parts. Otherwise, just keep the filter in a bag while changing the o-ring or spring and then re-install it.
