Does that make any sense at all? By the way, the previous owner was very meticulous, so I wouldn't think it was mistreated, but one can't ever be 100% sure.
I DREAM about a slight jerk before the tranny engages...in the case of the occasional 6-speed transmission slam, it feels like you got hit from behind...hard.
