I know it has something to do with the transmission, but what exactly is happening?

Autos should be pretty darn smooth overall.

Usually hard shifting is a sign that service is necessary.

The shifting on older cars is hydraulically actuated, and over timed gunk and grime can build up creating problems with the hydraulic pressure.
