Freaky problem Hi guys, my ride is doing something strange lately. I have to retest to be sure about the RPM range, but when I cruise on the freeway at about 2500RPM when I jump on it a bit to change lanes my car jerks like its slipping or popping 
and then will continue to accellerate. It does this on steep hills too when it reaches that same RPM range. I have 342s with stock tc, i dont know if that has anything to do with it.
Or, if my trans is simply starting to take a crap.

Like misfires on throttle tip-in, making the TCC
unlock?
Might clean the MAF first (and watch the oiling on the
K&N, more != better). Don't know which 85mm MAF you
have but that may have started you from a lean basis
(the '00s were already the leanest-tuned of the years as
I understand), made worse by oil contamination.

I have the same MAF. I'll check it out, but I'm pretty **** about cleaning the sensors on it. Might be the K&N. I've been oiling the airduct side and lightly oiling the TB side. Maybe no TB side at all.

Do not oil the TB side of the K&N. Only oil the outside of the filter. This could be the problem. Oil on the MAF sensor wires. Use electrical cleaner (Radio Shack sells it) and use a Q-Tip and be careful around the sensor wires. Just glide along them with no pressure. Allow to dry. Was your K&N to remove oil on inside and only oil outside of it (airduct side, not TB side).
