Let's start with this go to a auto parts store like auto zone and have them check your car for code's.We need to make sure you don't have any code's.Most of the hard shifting i have seen on the saturn S model have been too high of transmission operating pressure caused by a bad pressure regulator in the valve body.Let me know if you have any code's before we go any further.
