Default Transmission Shifting Feel

So I bought my beautiful 370z used and it's been amazing except for one weird thing. When my car is cold, the shifts are like butter. Yet when it gets warmed up, the shifts are clunky and hard and sound just bad. I was wondering if my car used to be in the cold so there was super viscous transmission fluid in it, that's why in the California climate (heat) it's too viscous and the shifts start to become clunky. When I haven't used it all day, then start to drive at night the shifts are glorious
Is it just me, or could the transmission fluid being to viscous be why the shifts become clunky and loud when it's all warmed up?
Thank you guys!
