There is supposed to be a slight jolt from 1st to 2nd gear, thats how these transmissions are designed to operate, harder shifts mean less wear/longer life. If its "sliding" from gear to gear then its actually not performing how it should be, the 1-2 is a jolt, and the the 2-3 and 3-4 shifts should be a firm "shove" feeling. I actually adjusted mine to shift even harder, so I get less wear.....
