Default 2003 V6 Mustang bucks when going through gears

Just got my 1st Mustang only has 43000 miles and is in oustanding shape. Garage kept 1 owner. I notice at times when the car goes through the gears (automatic transmission) has a tendency to buck especially when I accelerate rapidly, or gun it. Other times runs through the gears smoothly. Just filled it with 93 octane to see if it might make a difference. Other than that car rides like a dream. Thanks in advance for any help. Vic

elaborate on what you mean by it "bucks"?

The 93 octane will only retard detonation which is helpful for high compression engines. To run 93 in a 4.0 is a waste of GREEN. It will not improve how your car runs.
