warrantied transmission :D

So I got my transmission replaced under warranty and of course since its a rebuilt tranny one can expect a large amount of these to be bad straight from the factory; As my mechanic buddy at work told me.
Anyway the day I was having my transmission replaced I had the weirdest bumping/pulsation happen while using tiptronic shifting. I talk to my friend and tell him about it, he asks if I picked up a nail or something I said no. He says hes not quite sure what it is. Anyway I get my car back after the work is done and its driving fine. Then it happens again this morning and again tonight, however the 3rd time around I was just in d5, not tiptronic mode like I was during incident #1 and #2. Also the way I got this pulsation to stop I had to pull over, come to a dead stop, shift into park, wait a few seconds then put it back in d5 and it would go away.
I'm going to speak with my friend at work tomorrow but I was curious if anyone else had any ideas on what this could be?

Stop listening to your buddy unless he works at acura as a tech

Dont mess around with friends or other mechanics. Just go back to the dealer you had it done at and have them deal with it.
