Thank you for all the input ...it does shift hard into reverse no matter if your going from park or reverse, at a very low idle. It was an existing issue when I bought the car, It shifted hard in both directions and got worse as it warmed up. That was why I took it to a transmission shop in the first place. They told me that it needed to be rebuilt so I had them do it. The hard shifting stopped all together in forward gears but if anything it got worse in reverse. I noticed that with the driveshaft out the connection to the rear ended can be moved 1/8 of a turn...?
