Default 1984 need some help

Hi new to the forums and corvettes I recently bought my c4. I got it for a good price but i'm having some problems hoping you guys can help.

first problem is when shifting into drive and 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 i get a pretty hard hit. the transmission was recently replaced so i dont think its that im thinkin u joints?

and also If I leave the car outside in the sun like when i went to dmv It starts up and runs but then after about a 200 ft or so it dies out usually at a turn.But it starts up right away afterward.
