Re-read your post and forgot to answer the first part

. I remember a vehicle came into the shop about 15 years ago with a similar problem. ( It was a mid size GM RWD.) The problem at that time was found to be a cracked transmission mount and it would flex a little bit when the transmission would be shifted into drive causing the car to "jerk" up a little bit. If you can't find the problem, that might be something to inspect to see the condition of the mount. IIRC those vehicles used a rubber insert mount and the rubber could have deteriorated causing the problem.
Here's a pic of a typical tranny mount for GM intermediates.
