Hard shifting in all gears

Hard shifting in all gears
I just bought a 2013 base tl. It shifts hard in all gears. The previous owner said he just changed the trans fluid. I seen Valvoline atf in the trunk of the car. So I ordered amsoil trans fluid for it which I plan on changing this weekend. Is there a filter I should change or shift solenoid I should change too? I'm new to gen 4 but I've owned a few gen 3 and Gen 2. Do they all shift hard? Is it normal? Any help would be great as to what to change to fix the issue short of the whole trans? I tried to search but came up with a lot of irrelevant stuff.

The shifts are certainly noticeable, but should not be harsh. Similar to a properly running 07-08 TL transmission. There is a replaceable filter, but it usually makes a noise you can hear from the car interior on a cold start when it needs replacing. No harm in replacing it. How many miles on the car?
