It's probably the torque converter lockup relay. It could also be the torque converter, but there isn't any way to test this on your own. You'll have to take it to a trustworth transmission shop.

A harsh shift on a transmission is when the driver of a vehicle can hear or feel the gearbox shifting. Sometimes the gearbox will lock and not shift causing the rev limiter to reach the red line. When it finally shifts the car will shake and jolt forward.
Why would your car feel like it shifting gears going down the high way but not in low speeds like in town?
Automatic transmission shifts can be related to fluid temperature and some vehicles also have sport style settings that can change shift quality. If the shifting is irregular and causing unusually high engine speeds this could be a symptom of transmission gear slippage. Gear slippage can result in transmission damage, and should be checked as soon as possible. Automatic transmissions are complex systems, and their overhaul/replacement can be very expensive repairs.

What is seismic shifting?
Seismic shifting is the shifting of the earth's crustal plates, causing seismic activity.
What keeps the transmission from shifting?
If you have a manual transmission, a worn out or defective clutch could cause it to not shift. There could also be internal damage to the transmission, causing the gears to not mesh together and slip. The shift linkage may also be loose, and preventing the transmission from shifting. If you have an automatic transmission, low or burn fluid can cause it to slip in gear or not shift at all. The transmission uses a pump to pump the fluid and maintain hydraulic pressure, so if the pump is broken or leaking the transmission will not shift. The fluid passages can also become clogged and cause loss of pressure. Many new vehicles use electronic solenoids to assist with shifting, and if the wiring harness or vehicle's computer stops working correctly, the transmission will not shift. In either case, you should take the vehicle to reputable transmission repair facility, where they can properly diagnose the cause of your issue.
Why does your 98 Ford Contour SE Sport's automatic transmission shift very hard between first and second gears when it never used to do this?
The transmission is a 4 speed computer controlled model. If your transmission starts shifting erratic or not at all, then make sure you or a shop run a scanner on the vehicle. You want to see if you have a sensor that has gone bad, causing your problems. The vehicle speed and transmission range sensors like to go bad on vehicles with these transmissions in them.
