Suburban shifting rough

I was driving home in stop-and-go traffic today
when I felt someone hit me from behind. The force
was enough to hurt my back and I'll be
soretomorrow.
I looked in the rvm and there was nothing there.
Experimenting I determined that the problem wasthe
shifting in my 99
burb (2 wheel drive; 4 speed auto, 15 k miles)
was really harsh. 2 from 1 is really rough. 3from
2 is just rough.
Beginning from a stop is no problem in D-1.
Any ideas on what the problem is with my
suburban?
I'd like to have a clue when it goes tothe dealer
tomorrow.
Thanks!

Checked trans fluid. Plenty of clear pink fluid.
Tried to reproduce problem but could not. (Will try to repro later with trans and engine warmed.)
Fear, uncertainty, and dread are creeping in. And as I anticipated, my back is sore from the rough shifting yesterday.
Any clues appreaciated.

Is it consistent that the problem would be intermittant or only occur when the truck is hot?
It is under warranty. My biggest fear is that the shop will not be able to repro the problem :-)
I searched the boards, web, NTSB, as best I could and yours is the first confirmation of the potential for such a problem.
