Transmission or not??

or
Need help trying to figure out this problem
Tranny was replaced from the dealer around 80k miles. Before I purchased the car. CL now has 103k... I took it to the dealer for inspection and they informed me warranty for that has expired.

With that being said there is a problem with the car with it sometimes not turning on properly. Once the starter kicks in the car somewhat jerks before it turns on and the rpms get really low...my car starts to vibrate really badly for a few seconds and it goes away once I drive away slowly. But sometimes my car will not start at all. I have changed the spark plugs before... battery is a month old... starter is not knocking or anything.
I know for a fact my front motor mount needs to be replaced because I have confirmed that with a mechanic... any ideas or suggestions would be helpful.

I would say that the problem is not connected to your transmission.

I havent done a valve adjustment but spark plugs, timing belt, and water pump have all been changed recently and it still happens.
Oh I also changed the Idle intake value. I have a feeling now that it has to do with carbon build up and may need to really get in the upper and lower intake manifold with some carb cleaner.

Moved to appropriate forum...

Doesn't sound like a tranny problem...but, then again, I'm no car expert in regards to the mechanics.
