'04 TL while stopped in D, RPM jumps

So while stopped in drive, at a stoplight for example, the rpms will jump between about 600 and 1000 rpms, it does not have a noticeable jump in any other gear but drive. Also only happens when stopped, and also not all the time. Usually this occurs at the first couple of lights after starting my car, then it runs smoothly. Any ideas?

If it only does it when cold, chances are the fluid is low. Have you checked it? Only other possibility is a plugged filter.

Ya it does only do it when the engine is cold, as far as i have noticed so far. So you think the transmission fluid could be causing the rpm jumps? I have not checked that, yet.

The transmission fluid is low, I will post after I top it off and see if the problem is fixed.
