Question Odd shifting..is it normal?

Well guys hopefully you can help me. IM not so sure its a problem just more odd at least i think so. First off this is my first performance vehcile with a Automatic..all my others have been sticks..anyway. When i get on it..maybe at 70% throttle it shifts ok from 1st to 2nd..but from 2nd to 3rd it shifts soft for a second..then hits 4th kinda hard. 1st to 2nd feels firm..but 2nd to 3rd feels soft..and then 3rd to 4th feels firm...i was told this is the converter locking up or unlocking after the shift...its almost like its short shifting. Also as its gaining speed in 1st gear it start to make an odd sound..i know the sound of the trq kill as its going into 2nd...but halfway through 1st its kinda got that sound till it hits second....i know i may sound crazy..but thats the best way i can explain it. Remember...i am 100% stock...so no chip is taking out line pressure or anything. Can ya help guys?

With that in mind, I would head to your dealer, and have a tech take a ride in it with you... Without feeling/hearing what is going on, I'm not sure anyone will really be able to give you a difinitive answer...
