Default Need some help

perhaps some of you can help me out, my 01 auto GT seems to be hesitating when it shifts from second to third gear making it a rough shift and the car shake. What makes it worse in, my opinion, is that she doesn't do it all the time, it's usually only on rainy days or a day or two after getting home from Richmond, it's more noticable now then it was a few weeks ago when it started. Any of you have a clue as to what could possibly make the car do this and ways to fix it? thanks in advanced.

Could it be the traction control? Possibly turn it off for awhile and see if that has anything to do with it.

The car has about 45,000 miles on it and has only been doing it for about a month and a half, if not less.

I'm hoping it won't be the transmission, but that's what i was starting to suspect.

I'll try the traction control thing, see if that helps thanks.

2nd roller failure? Trannies are not my forte, so I have no idea. I would take it to a tranny shop.
