In my experience, a properly rebuilt tranny should operate like it did when new (or very close to it). I think the guy that rebulit r0dxx's tranny is full of

my 3.0cl always has been jerky... when i test drove it i noticed it quickly.. on consumer report it says:
"In contrast, the 3.0-liter V6 delivers brisk acceleration. Unfortunately, with either engine the automatic transmission tends to shift with a bothersome jolt when pushing hard on the gas. In addition, the transmission sometimes seems almost confused about which gear to be in during stop-and-go driving" haha so i got used to it quickly after i bought the car.

so any problem other than that i dunno ;\

My first tranny was fine (no jerk) for a year or so, then it started jerking and was dead within a couple of months. My second was fine for a couple of months then started jerking and lasted almost a full year. Now it is dead and getting rebuilt (I think).

the jerking seems from 1st to 2nd.. 2nd to 3rd is typically smooth.. i cant say its common but seems possible since alot of us feel this "jerking"

i wonder if the jerking has anything to do with poor motor mounts? or tranny mounts? maybe if they don't do their job good, they can affect the tranny/engine? since theyre not supposed to move?

It's the first gear switch in the tranny. Go to Autopalace or a similar place and have them check the engine codes. Mine came back with that and I had the same problem. Not sure what it means or how to fix, but that's what I got.

is it while the pedal is down. if so make sure all the plug wires are in fully. our 3.0's have a tendancy for popping plug wires out. especially after installing bosch platnum plugs. and check to make sure the wire ends on the distributor cap is on fully.
