Default Question with Gears?

I drove a car today an 88LX to be exact. When I would drive the car off from 1st it would buck as if the gears were loose. I don't know if there is such a thing as "too tall of a gear" for a tranny. I believe the car had 3:73s and I know it does have a 3550 Tremec Tranny. Any ideas what this might be? I am thinking of buying this car. Thanks guys
