or at least not the transmission's internals...
Have you checked both the top and bottom transmission mounts? The top one looks like an abstract rubber hourglass and has a tendency to shear in half in the middle. The lower dog bone torque is a flimsy design.
I had real bad 1-2 2-1 shifts, I did the mounts and it helped considerably...and once I got in there I realized the top one was in fact sheared in half...that episode of jarring shifts was around 90-100K I would say. I did the mounts and thorough fluid drain, fill, mix, drain cycles...I'm getting hard shifts again at 149K, I ordered a dog bone and some Toyota Type-IV ATF to flush (fyi, been running Toyota ATV T-IV for 100K miles now, just re-branded 3309 bottles, autobox is asinwarner)...
