Changed plugs and wires tonight and took it for a couple of WOT blast everything was cool, stopped at a red light pulled away normal (no boost) and when it shifted into 2nd the car bogged and then started to go normal. Come up to next light from about 45mph and when car started to down shift it started to buck real bad and did the same at every light on the ride home. Acceleration seemed fine and shifted fine but on the down shifts it bucked real bad. It did this one other time to me after I was at the track but the next day it was fine. Any suggestions?:)
 
Maybe....

Sounds like it could be the TC lockup solenoid. Does it feel like a manual trans does when you forget to push down the clutch when you try to stop? That would be the solenoid keeping the lock-up clutch engaged when it sholden't be.
 
Yes, I have to agree that it is the tcc soleniod. Just drop the pan and replace. It is not hard to do, just messy if you don't have a drain plug.
