This may sound weird but check the little black roller at the front of the door between the top and bottom hinges. It develops a groove after a while and can cause a loud pop when opening and closing. let me knoe if this works

yes the engine was hot when rough shifting occured. Its booked to go to dealer wednesday. Where should I begin to look for overheating problem after coolant? how do i check thermostat?

the thing that is most confusing is the overheating!
