Please help. Rough idle driving me crazy!!!

After reading someone's earlier post, I have also noticed a very slight miss at idle and terrible smell from exhaust w/ back glass down. I recently installed plugs and OEM wires and didn't notice much change. Is my imagination running wild on me or could I too have a stopped up convertor? One last rant!!! Does anyone elses trans feel not quite right when upshifting? Maybe I am just paranoid after buying a used vehicle...
Sorry for the long post!!!
-Matthew

both of my runners and MANY on this board have 'the smell' - never heard of a fix for this, just live with it. It will grow on you, I like the smell now

no tranny problems here

I know this doesn't help at all

A friend has a '00 limited and his trans shifts much harder than mine does. Both have about 75k. I was hoping that something was wrong with his rather than mine! LOL...
Any help would be appreciated.
