2003 WS "jerks" during acceleration (Transmission slipping?)

Hi all. Upon acceleration, the whole car shudders sometimes, and it's usually when you're at speed going from 3rd to 4th gear (OD). If I turn OD off, it's a lot better- but the whole car jerks. At first I thought it was a motor mount problem, so a friend put new motor mounts and a transmission mount in for me. The car is more driveable now (at 190K I'm sure the mounts didn't hurt, the motor did move way too much when tested) but the problem remains. I've noticed the tach jump just a little...
