Wikipedia says:
"The 1985 4-4-2 used an OZ code THM 200-4R transmission (as did the 1983–84 Hurst/Olds). Both 1986 and 1987 4-4-2 used the KZF code THM 200-4R. The KZF removed much of the shift harshness of the original OZ coded transmissions, but were still firmer than the run-of-the-mill overdrive transmissions used in the rest of Oldsmobile's lineup."
So is yours an '85? Regardless, it sounds like firm shifts are just part of the fun.
Mine is definitely an 87, but someone replaced the engine with this crate 355, and the transmission with what I believe to be a built TH350.
My wife heard me coming from the entry of the neighborhood. "Is that thunder? It's getting closer it's...it's in my driveway. Ok. It's Rex."
