The bump was always there but much worse after the transmission warmed up. I did not do a valve body rebuild, I only changed the solenoids. Based on my troubleshooting, I was confident I had a solenoid or two that were sticking which was what was causing the rough shifting. Basically, the solenoids are like the pistons in your engine, when power is applied, they smoothly move from one position to another (opened to closed or vice versa). This is what allows for the smooth shift. Picture the piston moving through a sticky or gummy surface...it gets bound up and then breaks free all of a sudden... That is what I believed was happening, which would cause the sudden and abrupt shift. So, I replaced all the solenoids (no knowing which one controlled the shifting from 1-2) and, the problem has been fixed ever since.
