Default hard shifting trans

I have an 01 SSei with approx 80k on it. In the last 10k miles or so the trans has started shifting hard when it gets warm. I have read that it could be going into "Lope" mode because it is getting warm. I have changed the filter and fluid but still have the same problem. Anyone have any ideas?

Is it possible the trans has a shift kit in it? Did the previous owner make any changes?
