i assume you have an automatic? no that just means that your clutchs are shot (i'm pretty sure), and that they wont grab until rpms drop. Iv driven more then a few autos that have the same problem. (my camaro included)

If its a manual, you got me ... cuz Id have no clue

mine does the same thing. has for years. i thought something was wrong also. someone mentioned that the r154 shifts as if you were trying to stir coal with a spoon. not saying there is nothing wrong, but mine is still good.

Yea, probably synchros. Only thing that I can think of. Have you tried changing your tranny fluid to something synthetic like Redline? That might help. Good luck though.
