The car is around 300k old, as I've read here and there a simple oil change won't be enough as it can unstick some old gunk and clog / kill the gearbox.
And btw in case of misunderstanding, it's not about the jerking from 2 to 1 to which i'm already used and living with, but about the bumps / shakes on low rpm on 1 and 2 which is new and more annoying.

Yes to changing the oil/filters along with the seals and solenoids. The fluids are NOT lifetime no matter what people say and there is no reason that new "clean" fluid will unstick gunk and you will have new filters to catch any crud your old plugged filters weren't getting before. The question comes down to whether you reset the adaptations or not after the fluid change and that's where people say the risk is for the most part.
I still believe your valve body is the culprit for both issues. The only other thing that may cause shaking is a torque converter that is dying, but it wouldn't be causing the 2-1 slamshift.
