Manual Transmission problems

I have an 03 Ford Ranger Edge Regular cab 5 speed manual with 117000 miles almost on the dot. Just bought it 5 days ago and come to find out it had a wierd transmission issue. In first gear it will get all 6000 rpm out no Problem. 2nd at around 4500 begins to almost let go of the gear and then grab back on hard and causes a bucking like motion in the truck. In 3rd, 4th, 5th it does the same exact thing at only 3500 rpm And I can't simply power through it. I have to up shift to get it to stop. At 3500 in 5th I'm at 75 mph when I have roads with speed limits of 80. No one seems to know what it is. Let me know please and thank you.

Check engine light on? Not that I've seen, I'll pay closer attention tonight on my way home from work. 2nd at around 4500 begins to almost let go of the gear and then grab back on hard and causes a bucking like motion in the truck. When it "lets go of the gear", does the engine rev higher? Like the clutch is slipping?

If your holding the clutch pedal down, which disengages the transmission from the engine, and the bucking is still happening, it probably isn't anything to do with the clutch slipping.
There are two common things that can cause bucking. Slipping, chattering clutch, or an engine misfire. They feel kind of the same, but a slipping clutch will cause the engine rpms to increase when the slip occurs and a misfire will cause the rpms to decrease at the moment the misfire occurs. If it is a miss, it may not be missing enough to trigger a misfire code.
It is important that you determine if it is a miss or a slip. You may need to have your mechanic take it for a test drive.
Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Any particular reason you hammer this thing all the way out when you drive? Beating on a truck is a good way to have it turn into junk.
