Hard Gear Shifting
Hello All,
I have a 99 RX300 with 85k miles that generally runs beautifully and is well maintained. However lately I am concerned about the way my car reacts when I initially put it into gear (it's an automatic). It seems be a bit difficult to put it into reverse when I first get into the car - it is a hard shift and the car seems to kind of jolt a bit. It does it both when putting it into reverse and when putting it into drive at first, it does get better after a while. Does anyone else have this experience? Should I be concerned?...
Thank you for any advice you can give me!

Does your transmission fluid have a good red color? If it's black, perhaps a fluid change or complete flush if it has been a while since last serviced. The RX uses toyota type T-IV fluid only.
