Hard/abrupt shifting

My 93 automatic has begun to shift abruptly. No hesitation. Just abrupt shifts between gears. Doesn't seem to be getting worse. Mechanic checked fluid and said it looked okay. Any thoughts?

Does it shift abruptly on upshifts, downshifts or both? Abrupt downshifting tends to be a 4EAT problem, that's why I ask.

Shifts abruptly mostly on upshifts, 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. Downshifts are a little abrupt when cold.

You can ignore it if you like driving a time bomb. Otherwise, I'd check the/a manual for proper brake band adjustment, first. Tiny adjustments there make HUGE changes in the way your tranny operates, with regard to moving up and down thru the gears. Pretty technologically advanced for something from the early 90's, huh?
