When I shift from park to drive the vehicle jumps. Any ideas why? Transmission fluid looks good.

Nobody's responded yet?!

It's your engine and/or transmission mounts. They're cheap enough, just do all 3.

The only shifting problem is from park to drive. Not while driving or to reverse or anything else. Do you think its still one of the mounts?

Mounts or sloppy u-joints are the most common causes for driveline lash.
