Under acceleration the car will buck when shifting gears. It is the worst shifting into 3rd, but does it into 2nd and 4th if under extreme acceleration. If I time it right and let off the accelerator when it shifts it wont buck. I assume the rods or gears are worn and need to be replaced. The car is under limited warranty.

Check to be sure all the tune up is in good condition, often driveability problems are mistaken for trans problems. If all is ok, I would take it in, the trans should be covered in the limited warranty, and you will want them to do that, it could get expensive fast
