Default 04 sxt shifting 1 to 2 question?

OK, I was just talking to a coworker who has an 03 SXT and he described what I have noticed once in awhile shifting from 1st to 2nd which I thought it was just my shifting since this is my first manual in about 12 years. What happens is that when you shift up it feels like it bogs down real quick then works its way back up to the rpms.Kind of like if you let the clutch out too fast and the transmission engages before you hit that sweet spot.(ummm, thats what she said[sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif][sm=lol.gif])

Anyways, Anyone else notice that? Is it possibly a computer glitch or something?

any ideas?

It could well be the computer holding back the power until you hit the "sweet spot" as far as miles go, then it lets the engine produce full power...SRT-4s do that at around 1500 miles.[sm=smiley5.gif]
