Check your ATF level. Sometimes if the level is too low or too high, it can cause it to grab the gear real hard. I'm no genius with auto transmissions, but its always good to check the easy/cheap stuff first

i have the same problem and i was told by my tranny guy that it wouldnt hurt anything but for some reason theres high pressure in the lines while switching into D its an electrical problem or an electrical switch that is really cheap if that is the problem i hate it but dont have time for down time if you know what i mean but he said it wont hurt anything so i drive it like i stole it

I think I figured out what it could be. I just got hptuners and just started doing my ve tuning which you have to set the maf to zero, which puts you in speed density mode. This might be related to the problem for me but I'm not 100% sure on it.

Right now I'm running 13.8 on street tires at about 4500ft. Tomorrow I'm going out there with drag radials. I'm waiting on a wideband to tune for the track, but yeah the hptuners was causing my tranny to do that because I was in speed density mode.

how hard does it 'lunge' forward? because every car does that... and depending on your idle at the time, it can be more severe...
I always keep my foot on the brake when I switch from P/R/D to minimize draftshaft slapping... well, at least it sounds quieter when I hold the brake, and the car doesn't lunge at all...
