Default hard downshift from o/d

hey i was wondering if anybody else has this problem i have a 94 ls and when i push on the brakes in overdrive when the transmission downshifts it shifts pretty hard but if i downshift with the o/d button it shifts fine all the other shifts are fine as well its just the shift down from o/d any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try checking your trans fluid level and quality. Transmissions do all kinds of strange weird things if the levels are off.
