2nd gear rough change under load 200

Hi,

When I accelerate heavy the change into 2nd gear is a real slam, under normal load it is fine. Any suggestions would be appreciated. (Auto 93 240 Wagon B230FX Motor)

Many thanks,
TQ

Check the fluid for proper level if it appears that the tranny is "hunting" for second. Then check the universal joints for play.
