Default Auto Trans - Hard Shift Between 1st and 2nd

I just had my plugs/wires changed by a local shop. Now I notice a real hard shift (jerk) when the auto transmission shifts from 1st to 2nd gears. Coincidence or did these folks mess something up under the hood? Thanks for your ideas,
Keith

If it happens at part throttle it is likely due to misadjustment of the TV cable.

:iagree: Sounds like the TV cable to me also. I would question how it came to be out of adjustment. Just follow the manual for the procedure.
