sounds like dirty IACV idle air control valve,,car been sitting a while or old gas in it?
thats located inside the throttle body
remove TB from engine and flip over- remove round cover and remove rod- clean air slit and chamber with carb cleaner
Buy new iacv cover gasket and TB to manifold gasket at dealer
best to remove intake manifold and tb- clean egr system as thats cloggin up by 75kmiles

both will affect trans- it likes to be low rpm when going into gear
