This is what is called a flare or shift flare in the transmission world. Where there is a temporary increase in rpm as the transmission shifts gears.

Sorry - but that's all I know.

Is this a issue that needs attention right away or just something there now to drive me nuts?

Flare is a symptom of something that is not right. The transmission was not designed to do this.

Well just wanting to report my car seems to be doing actually fine at the moment it will shift sometimes a bit hard but not all the time, so I decided to get OnStar to do a full system health check on the transmission nothing came back. So I felt that wasn't good enough, so I had it hooked to a ultrascan scanner & check for any DTC on the transmission but nothing could be found far as active/pending state.

So I am starting to assume maybe I am as robby said "hypersensitive" due to so many repeating issues; so if no active DTC codes on the transmission I am thinking all systems are OK mechanically and electrically.

I got a appointment at the dealership this coming month for oil change, tire rotation etc, I will have checked further, but should I spend the money to get told what I already found myself? Thoughts?

Spend the money on a mindfulness based stress reduction program.

It will give you more tangible and portable results.

Thanks Tomko. Well I was out riding today & came by AAMCO Transmission care shop, so I decided to pull in there & allow them to run a check on my transmission as I felt that shift again & its annoying the he** out of me to say the least. Well they hooked it to the Snap-on Ultra scanner - & then test drove the car, the tech said there doesn't seem to be anything wrong w/ the transmission as he could tell & said tho it does act like a "transaxle sensor" or something of that sort , does this sound correct or what?

Plus they brought to my attention; that the transmission didn't show any active/pending stated DTCs. But they did find some pending codes from the engine, however they aren't any CEL light on at the moment; so here I am confused to what codes are so I will post these up for suggestions & I got appointment coming up real soon at the dealership & I will get all these issues taken care of promptly as I do not like issues like this ( well to me ) there is, maybe I am trying to fix the wrong one! haha

These are the DTCs they provided :

P0113 : Intake Air Temp.

CO277 : Brake Pedal Position sensor short to ground or open.

U0140 : Lost communication w/ body control module.

Couple of things:

1) You found an honest AAMCO and technician. Post there names please.

2) There's a reason why the car doesn't have a pending light. It's because pending can and often do go away or resolve themselves.

3) You have done the equivalent of having a whole body MRI and discovered any number of illnesses when in fact you felt fine. But these illnesses are normal for everybody and the body resolves them regularly.

4) Sign up for that meditation course.

The AMMCO technician name was danny, ok well just glad there isn't anything wrong.

Yeah, AAMCO Danny. He's well known on the interwebs.

& that meditation course yeah I could use, but I think just relaxing & stepping away from this would really help I guess. Since the car has many checks w/o any indication of any pending/active DTCs. Wouldn't you agree to just step back from this, & let it be? lol

The skill you'd learn from a meditation course will help you throughout life beyond this particular ownership experience. Makes sex better too. YMMV
