    The transmission only shifts hard about once a week then the other 5 or 6 days it shifts fine. If I've been driving for about 20 or 30 mins it'll start shifting hard for just that 1 day a week. Then if I turn off the car for about 30 mins and start it up again then it shifts fine.

    I would try disconnecting the battery for a few hours and drive the car very easy afterwards. This will let the transmission relearn all the parameters. Not sure if this will help or not, but it can't hurt to try.

    And as long as the tranny is shifting and still running, just drive it.

    When a transmission is low on fluid, it doesn't work. Fluid is what makes a transmission apply the clutches etc. Wtihout enough you won't move. The trans shouldn't lock up... you should simply notice slipping.

    Since you don't mention any slipping, my question is... how low was the fluid? Oil change people will tell you anything they can to sell you a friggin air filter. I trust them less than someone I know to be shady.

    Harsh shifting in these transmissions is commonly caused by a failing EPC soleniod. Aka the pressure solenoid. Most likely you've been experiencing it getting fickle and now it is happening more frequently.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
