What does hard shifting from park to drive or reverse to drive usually suggest on a 2001 Honda accord v6 ex automatic?

Possibly someone has poured in the wrong transmission fluid. If you do not use Honda ATF-Z1 it will cause shifting problems. Here is what your Honda Owner's manual says. "Always use Honda ATF-Z1 (Automatic Transmission Fluid). If it is not available, you may use a DEXRON III automatic transmission fluid as a temporary replacement. However, continued use can affect shift quality. Have the transmission flushed and refilled with Honda ATF-Z1 as soon as convenient." So make darn sure you have Honda ATF-ZI fluid in the tranny. If this is not the problem seek professional help.

Are synthetic transmission fluid in your Honda accord V6 automatic transmission ok?

Honda specifies the use of genuine Honda ATF Z1 only. Any substitute may cause shifting problems. I would not use any other fluid period. Synthetic may be fine but I am not 100% sure so my advice is stick with Honda ATF Z1. You can ask your Honda dealer, but if he say use synthetic get it in writing or your warranty may be void.
