    When I am at a very slow speed and step on the gas the car revs to about 2000 rpm, hestiates and then jerk and then accelerates. It is very noticable at low speeds around 5 to 10 miles per hour. But from a dead stop it seems to shift fine. I had this problem for a while know it with the low low miles is a big disappointment. Suggestions before I get beat over the head for a new tranny from the dealer?
