V6 Mustang Jumps in Reverse


I just bought a used 2000 V6 Mustang 5 speed. The previous owner kept it maintained real good, I know car had it's flywheel replaced last year. It drives great and I can't wait to start working on it but I noticed that it jumps when I put it in reverse and sometimes in first gear. This is my first mustang, prior to this I've only driven 5 speed Civic's and Accord's. I wanted to know is it supposed to do that or should I be taking it to a shop. Someone told me it might be the Transmission or Clutch any idea how much this will cost me?
