go with a valve body upgrade or/and an aftermarket torque converter, that will take your sloppy shift feel out completely, you don't need electronics to do this, all mechanial baby

which is not to say that electronics couldn't do it. These cars have a "soft" shift built into the electronics. We can hardly feel it. The hard shift could be just as easily done with revised electronics. I'll bet they could have both, at drivers discretion. A switch, or perhaps a throttle position. You know, like down.
