If you mean a lunge when you put it gear, yes, I really hate it. Results of a tight torque converter and really low first gear. Even at warm idle around 600 rpm, I feel like I have to stand on the brakes to hold it back.

Yes it did it to me yesterday. Started the truck and it felt like when you start a vehicle with manual transmission in gear without the clutch in. Very odd but was like a nudge and started.

Yep, mine lunges a bit when you put it in gear, hot or cold. At start up it doesn't seem to do much other than rock slightly.
