Possibly...I would check the Vacuum Modulator on the transmission. When I replaced mine it was leaking and causing transmission fluid to be sucked into the intake manifold.
After replacement, it shifted smooth between gears.
Follow the vacuum line from the VM to the intake and see if there is trans. fluid in the line. Or, you could have a vacuum leak in the line.

Good luck,

Dave
