Check the level of fluid in your transmission. While you're at it, you may want to change it out with some new Honda MTF or fluid of your choosing.

I doubt anyone can really answer you since you have given no explanation of what "shifts hard" means. Do you mean that it is difficult to put into gear? Does it catch or does it just require a lot of effort? Does it do whatever it does when sitting still and rowing through the gears?

It could shift hard b/c your clutch fluid level is down. Check it. Or your throw-out bearing is going bad, so it's not disengaging the clutch completely, thus making it 'notchy', rough.
