Mileage?
Got the Power switch under the armrest active or is it still in ECT mode?
By hard do you mean clunky/thudding rather than smooth engagement?

Hopefully, it's just an electronic glitch and requires resetting the Tranny module!

You may have worn motor and transmission mounts

Could it be from the misfire pistons that they recently had a recall?

If it reacts to weather you guys may need to do a transmission flush and put new fluids in it.

Don't waste money. The AT is supposed to stay in a lower gear longer and shift up at higher RPMs when the engine is cold. It allowes the engine and the catalytic converter to warm up faster.
