For the last few weeks when I start speeding up anywhere my car jolts when it shifts from 1st to 2nd gear and then again from 2nd to 3rd gear. I was thinking it was maybe the transmission filter or vacuum hose? Maybe a sensor? Any ideas.

Hello,

There is no vacuum line the problem sounds like a turbine speed sensor that needs to be replaced.

We should run the codes to confirm the issue.
