shifting hard

[terry_jones84]

i just had the neutral safty switch replace, it was down shifting for 4th to 3rd, and 3rd to 2nd, the switch seemed to take care of the down shifting but it shifts into 2nd and 3nrd hard, and clunp (is that a word lol) sound. in 3rd, i just got this mark, love the hell out of it, just got to get the kinks out, i did go with the autozone sensor, instead of napa or the linclon ($120.00 with tax),cound that be it, cause it did not shift that hard before.
help, help help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
