Default Transmission pops and jerks!

So, when i go to shift from first to second, then to third, the gears kind of pop and lurch forward a little. now, i could just suck at shifting, but i dont think thats the case. it doesnt do it at 4th or 5th gear, just the first three. also! I think my thermostat housing has a crack in it because my aintifreeze is goin FAST! when i get to work or home, smoke is rolling from the hood and its a very antifreezy smell, and you can watch the antifreeze bubble and go down. i aint got the money to throw coolant at it every week, so, any help would be awesome! ill try to get pictures or something to show what i mean.

Video of you shifting when this problem occurs would help.
