Give us a few more details about the car like mileage. What's the rear gear ratio. When was the last time you checked out the U-joints? These are just examples.

If its just tagging the rev momentarily then shifts and the shift is relativley firm when it does. I would say possibly a tuning issue. When power adders are installed even just bolt ons it can be nessesary to reset shift point to compensate.
On the clunk I would look at u joints, trans mount , torque arm bushings.

i thought that too at first but im not so sure its like it slips up to the rev limiter and tags it pretty bad then shifts i mean when it shifts its like the car then pulls again but will not pull at all while its on the limiter
