Default 4l80e hard shifting

I hope someone can help..I have a 86c10 with a lq4/4l80 and after the tranny is warmed up it shifts very hard in every gear...it has always done this, its a PSI Conversions pcm and harness. I have tried switching the ISS and VSS sensors around, checked the trans harness plug, not sure what to look for?...I do not have the wire for the park/neutral ground hooked up to the neutral safety switch because mine only has the single plug for the back up lights.....it keeps throwing this code...

not an expert but i think thats your input speed sensor to the trans, it senses the speed the cranks spinning not the output speed. you need a real time scanner to make sure the sensor is reading correctly or reading at all. my car did the same hard shifting till i had the sensor hooked up correctly.

Do a continuity test between the plug and the PCM. Make sure its not open, shorted to ground or shorted to power.
