My transmission does this all the time. When I shift from D4 to reverse, I hold down my brakes until I know the car has shifted. If I let go too early, I feel that small jolt.

But when I pressed a little on the gas pedal everything goes back to normal (over 750rpm). The proble is that after trying out the new transmission this weekend the problem seams to persist. Does anyone know where to look for this problem?
This sounds like a throttlebody / egr valve issue. When the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve is jammed, high amounts of exhaust recirculate though the engine. It'll give the exact same symptoms you're describing.
