Was the eninge at operating temp when you pulled the codes? It should be or some sensors will read out of range.
So if the engine was warmed up then code 28 could be for a dead Intake Air Temp(IAT or sometimes called VAT) sensor and if so that will put the computer into open loop and that will make the trans shift hard since the same computer controls the transmission and it's programmed to do that. Code 62 may then be resulting from this action and if so will go away once the primary fault is fixed.

How long since the last tranny service? Sometimes at high speed, if your shifting down to third the driveline will shock. Just because your whole drive line has wear in it, it adds up. But grab those codes and check your driveline for any play.
