Consumer Description

The transmission stutters between shifts. When I apply a healthy amount of throttle input (say 50% or so), the shifts feel very clean and crisp. When I'm at minimal throttle (but I need to creep along) or when I come close to a stop (not quite full stop) and get back into throttle, there is a noticeable delay in power from 1st to 2nd gear. If there's a delay in acceleration, it can create a dangerous scenario where I can't "escape" out of a situation I need too. It's very unsettling. I also feel stuttery down shifts while I'm braking and coming to a stop. The car lurches forward as I'm braking when it tries to execute its downshifts.
