car will shift hard once in awhile and if I pull over and let it sit for a few minutes and then start the car again it goes away.it’s like the computor resets something and fixes it. I can tell right away because it shifts smooth again instead of the clunk when it shifts thru the gears.

When was the last time the transmission fluid was serviced?
