i have a 2000 with an auto. when i take off slowly, sometimes it feels like the tranny shutters 3 times when shifting into 3rd. also sometimes when i am about to stop at 2 mph, i feel a light downshift or shutter. i saw the tach go up and down slightly a few times when shifting into 3rd the other day and without the shutter. is this a failing tranny or are these trannies like that with the light shifts that it has. the odometer says 40,000 on it and the fluid looks good.

do a flush and filter change first to see if it goes away if not then it might be that the trans it on its way out, but let us know how it does after the fluid and filter change

your supposed to change the fluid every 30K
