Default Tranny Problems

My seems like its slipping. When i take off from a stop the car starts to stutter and vibrate sometimes. At first i wasnt that bad, but its gotten a little worse. could it be a bad tranny or torque converter?Some times it does it, sometimes it wont. im not really sure on what it is/

i have the same problem too. at first i thought that it was a suspension problem (seemed like the tires themselves were bouncing when i pulled off swiftly from a stop), but i think that it might be my transmission.

Are your front tire treads in good shape? Sometimes the tread breaks loose from the pavement while trying to accelerate too fast. It grips the road then slips and grips the road again. This will give you that stuttering sensation. If it doesn't happen with normal acceleration then I doubt that your transmission is at fault.
