I cant ask 4 better, but...

I love my car!! its running great and i cant ask 4 better...but...the car seems to have trouble shifting into gear, its a jolt when it does but this doesnt happen when i floor it. why does this happen? i hope my tranny isnt on its last legs...also i wish i could pick some more power outta it, lol even if i did id still want more.. but i do love it the way it is. i still need a front alignment and i have to bleed the breaks too. I have alot of work be4 CatJam!!

stick or auto trans?
I would guess you have a auto.
Jolt probs can be from low trans fluid. U joint. Motor mount gone bad.

Also differential prob can do this.
side gears (spider gears) and pin that hold them can do this when worn.  Worse case the pin has worn the case and slops around.
I have seen this in TC 8.8 and tilted my head in wonder.
