If you force or slam the shifter into place, of course its gonna feel like its fighting you a bit.

Changing the trans fluid will probably smooth things out a bit, but there's no replacement for proper technique. Light blip of the throttle, gentle but firm pressure on the shifter, and you'll feel it slip into gear like it should. I think you're worrying about a problem that doesn't exist.
Alright then, thanks for bearing with me yall!
