First of all, unless you installed an AW71, you have an AW70. Or at least that's what Volvo put in all the automatic 240s in 1991.

Second, the hard 1-2 shift is very common. Many AW70/71 cars do it, and some don't. Neither is unusual. You could go through the trouble of having the valve body serviced, but it really isn't detrimental to the longevity of the transmission. You might get slightly better results with fresh fluid but typically it makes it no better.

Unless this behavior started suddenly, I wouldn't worry about it.
