is hard 1-2 shifts bad??

since i've had my tranny build.. the shifts are alot firmer.. and the 1-2 shifts are pretty hard sometimes... would that be bad for the long run? would it hurt anything else in the tranny? or should i have nothing to worry about....

A hard shift just means that your clutch plates are slapping together harder. There is nothing wrong with it except the neck snapping.

over time it may wear the ujoints and pinion/ring gears faster due to the impact loads on the gear teeth. meaning you may only get 400,000 miles out of them instead of 500,000.
