SOURCE: used transmission installed and doesnt shift at the right rpms

Ck your trans modulator., and if not already done, you pan filter and fluids

SOURCE: goes into neutral and then shifts hard into 1st on slowdown

It sounds like your input clutch seals are rolling. Is the check engine light on. It could also be the pressure control solenoid could be causing the problem aswell

SOURCE: I have a 1995 Chevy K2500 4x4 454 with the 4L80E.

yep you got internal damage to the 2-3 clutch packs worn or broken apply piston o-rings and weak servo pack waffers

SOURCE: trans bangs into gear on acceleration

In all probability, the transmission fluid has stopped doing its work. You should have changed ATF fluid and filter about 60k miles ago. Auto transmission on 1998-2002 Accords are notoriously weak. ( i own one). I would venture to say that you have abused the tranny beyond its possibilities. If D light is flashing, transmission computer has detected a problem. Change tranny oil and filter to see if you can save it but outlook is not good.

Dear Madam or Sir,

this is a well known problem with the Audi-transmissions, we do have a lot of failures with them over here in Germany. ;)

There are some software updates available, in many cases this fixed the problem.

Another possibility is a faulty transmission speed sensor, this is causing the hard shift behaviour.

First you should see the dealer to check the transmission control module´s trouble code memory and to check if there is a software update available for your car.
