It's probably a problem with your catalytic converter.
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.

If your car revs up without shifting and misfires, it could be a clogged catalytic converter. If the computer senses too much back-pressure it won't shift. Since the Clean Air Act requires an 8 yr / 80,000 mi warranty on cats, I'd recommend having this check out before you spend money on the transmission.
