X2. A friend of mine had a Trans Am years ago with a TH-350 that had a "big name" shift kit in it. The trans shifted so hard into 2nd that you would think it was going to crack the windshield, yet he liked it. The car had T-tops and I think that exaggerated it as well.

Also, if the intermediate accumulator spring is broken or has been removed, it will cause a violent shift into 2nd as well.
