The hard shift from 1st to 2nd is worse when the tranny is cold, and gets better once it warms up.

Why is it so hard to shift gears?
The automatic shifter has numerous sensors that regulator when and how the transmission changes gears. When anyone of this sensors is bad it hard to shift gear. So if the sensors fail to receive and send the right signal readings, shifting problems can occur due to the wrong signal transmission.
What happens when you reset the transmission shift points?

Downshift solenoids are an important transmission component, and without them, the vehicle will not be able to shift gears properly, sometimes even to the point of rendering the car undriveable.
Why does my car seem slower?
The most probable issue is a clogged fuel filter. Over time, the fuel filter might need cleaning and maintenance to get debris and dirt out. When your fuel filter is clogged, your fuel pump needs to work harder to get fuel into the system, resulting in a slow insufficient drive.

Is there such thing as a slow speed foot pedal?
All foot pedals that I have used can be pushed just a little bit for slow, or pushed down hard for fast. It’s an art to learn how to be soft or hard. Now, on the other hand, I have one that wants to stick wide open. You should see me trying to dive under the machine and pull the button up. “laughing” It’s probably about time for a new one.
Why do you take your foot off the gas pedal?
It’s entirely possible, but at the expense of mileage. Much of driving is taking the foot off of the pedal and then reaccelerating. The more inertia is carried is the less energy will be used reaccelerating. manufacturers are driven by CAFE mandates and the market forces to design cars that will get maximum gas mileage for their class.
Do you feel the increase in rpm when you speed up?
It is not always associated with the brake. It just takes a couple seconds after the foot comes off the gas. At slow speeds, less than 25 mph, I can actually feel the car accelerate, which is a weird feeling when the car speeds up without the gas being pressed down. The increase in RPM used to be really bad, the jump would be very noticeable.
What should I do with my foot pedal?
The one thing that should work regardless of your machine is to make a similarly shaped/height wedge for your left foot. Putting your body in balance will help you have more control over how much pressure you’re putting on the pedal. That reminds me of the car forums I post on.
