2002 Arc wagon 110k miles with exactly same shifting issue. Dealer changed fluid at 60k service, but I wonder if they did a full change or 1/3 drain and refill.
Last month I did the 3X change with Valvoline MaxLife (only kind available at the local store). Hard shifting is completely gone and no observable problems. However, reading the posts here makes me a bit uneasy of long term issues so I plan to do 1/3 changes with Toyota fluid with my next set of oil changes.
As for sending out or DIY, if you can do an oil change, you can do this. Actually it's easier since there's no filter change involved. Just fluid drain and refill.
