It's like moving your mouse and the pointer doesn't move, then all of a sudden the pointer jumps to where it should be and works fine.
It's not all the time. Just some times.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I am convinced that the condiction of the transmission fluid does affect shifting smoothness. Is the fluid a cherry red in color and at correct levels, cold and hot? Sometimes, a couple of drain and fills might be needed in a thousand miles to get the fluid color and clairity. (indicating impurities). I noted a marked difference in shifting after I changed mine.
It may also be time to reset the ECT by removing the negitive battery terminal for ten minutes or so. This causes the tranny to "relearn" your driving habits.
