Hard Shifting is a good indicater that you need to have it serviced. Pull the dipstick and get the Fluid on your fingers then rub it round a bit and smell it. If it smells burn replace A.S.A.P. Here a [http://www.nationaltransmission.ca/pdf/Reading_Fluids.pdf Printable Document] I found on the subject. Good Luck and Remember.

The synchronizing gears don't seem to be meshing right in the transmission. If the transmission is full of fluid then it will need to be taken apart to find the problem.

Check on the bottom side of the transmission for a plug that may have came unplugged. It will make it shift really hard if it is unplugged.

Perhaps transmission fluid is "breaking down" at high temp. Try changing fluid and filter
2000 Pontiac grand prix with 64000 miles 31 engine sometimes city driving the transmission shifts hard park for 10-20 minutes it ok changing the fluid-filter what could be the problem?
A hard shift isn't always hard on a transmission. When a transmission shifts soft, it has to slip clutches and bands which causes the friction material to wear out faster. But if this concerns you, have the transmission vacuum modulator valve and vacuum line inspected as this controls the shift firmness.
Would a clogged catalytic converter cause the transmission to shift hard?
It could be the source of hard shifts. In an electronically controlled transmission many sensor inputs determine shift times and firmness. If the back pressure of the exhaust is reintroduced through the exhaust gas recovery (EGR) valve to the intake then the power control module (the car's "computer") may interpret this as heavy engine load and raise the transmission line pressure to protect the transmission from slipping. This will be felt as hard shifts.
What is wrong with your 2004 f150 when it shifts hard into drive?
When was the last time you changed your transmission fluid? As the fluid gets older, transmissions start to shift harder, and you notice the shifts from gear to gear a lot more. It could also mean that your transmission needs repair.
