A while ago, and just recently, I noticed that my car shudders just a bit when I was driving on I-5. I came out of the express at 60 something mph, I might have released the gas pedal just a bit, before applying further pressure, and just as I was pressuring hte pedal, I felt the car/engine/tranny shudder a slight second before it accelerate. The closest comparison I could make is if you were to be experience a slow shiver, or when you try to swallow nothing.
I know it's hard to describe, but with the tranny issue looming, I can't help but feel worried. I've felt it two times this week. The last time was last year...

Thanks for any suggestions.

If you almost feel a "shift" in the engine or gas pedal, could be a motor mount is fried.

I tend to think it just might be the car trying to find the right gear between 4/5 when you dip off the throttle. Mine has always done that, albeit a bit slower 45/50mph with the old tranny, around 50/55mph with the new one. It's a slight shudder as if the car is deciding to downshift-briefly engages-then goes back to 5th with a little tip in with the throttle again...

Mine does that too. It's normal.

that little computer has alot to do when trying to figure out which gear to stay with in a second, happens to me also.

Completely normal.
I believe that would be the torque converter locking back in. On some of our cars the torque converter lockup will cause a slight shudder, which the tech tells me is very common. No need to worry, your transmission should be fine.
