Now THAT is not what I have experienced, so you have a different situation. What I had was an inconsistency in the notchiness, it seemed like some times 1->2 and 2->3 were butter smooth, yet firm and other times, notchy. The only time it is consistently smooth is when hard turning left under power so that was my clue that there was some inertia-based movement either in the engine or tranny mounts. I tried the tranny mounts as they are cheap and do no harm and the shifts do seem more precise and consistent now, so it's always notchy now
