experiencing "hard shift" with auto trans

Is anyone encountering a "clunking" hard shift from 1st to 2nd gear in the automatic transmission c6? This is occuring when accelerating from a stand still only ( in-town driving ).

Mine doesnt have a clunking sound but does shift hard when the hammer is down.

I get it sometimes, but it is a function of throttle position. Sometimes if I lift before it shifts then accelerate it may shift hard. If I take off and leave the throttle constant shifting is normal. If you are having a problem under normal constant acceleration you may want to have a tech go around the block with you and check it out.
