Auto trans shifting?

Auto trans shifting?
Hi guys. Just bought a 05 TL, auto. Love the car. Has 102k miles on it. In my opinion the car shifts a bit odd. Every gear shift after 1-2 almost makes me nauseated. It shifts smooth and doesn't slip. ATF was changed religiously throughout it's life with DW1 and Z1. But when the car is shifting, it feels like someone grabs a hold of my car from the back bumper and holds it for like half a second. Gives me that weird feeling like when you land in an airplane. Is that how these cars shift?

Change the trans fluid until it's clean... 3x3.
Replace the trans filter.
1. Try replacing the Pressure Control Solenoids A/B assy, & gasket. Clean the screen at the bottom of the three pipes & replace the 3 O-rings.
Additional parts if needed...
2. Main shaft speed sensor.
3. Counter shaft speed sensor.
4. ATF temp sensor.

If your trans is still missing shifts in all gears then replace Item #1 with oem solenoid.
No need to bring it to the dealership. Your regular mechanic can do or any repair shop.
Replace the trans filter with an aftermarket part.
Don't worry about the sensors for now.

you do not need to replace the solenoid pack, just remove them, clean the screens and reinstall
