Sludgish, then sharp...

Don't know where to really put this in but here seemed the best place.
Today i'm driving back from work it seemed like when I stepped on it wouldn't pick up like I wanted it too, then when i got in town at a stop light, when I accelerated it jumped and the car was really touchy, touchy like my Evo. So is this something normal or should I be worried?? id this a sign that i need a trans flush??

More description please-- 5AT? You did mention a "flush"...

Mileage? Mileage at prior 3 X 3 or transmission fluid flush/change?

What gears was the car in where you felt the "touchiness"(is that the same as abrupt shifts?)?

Did the transmission "slip" before the car finally accelerated?

Any increase in RPM without corresponding change in acceleration?

5AT, it was only on 1st & 2nd. No slipping tho. But it only does it every once I'm a while.

Sounds more like engine tune than transmission to me. A sudden hesitation out of the blue like this might be some bad gas?
