You need to get it on a transmission/engine capable scanner and read out transmission shift data and engine data.
Post back any codes from a good scanner check

It could be a engine running or a tramsmission problem.

When it gives you a hard shift is the time to ckeck it out.

A good engine/transmission capable scanner and a good tech/mechanic should be able to spot and show the problem.


Also it should be setting a code past present or history.
