Q: Transmission not shifting properly

asked by on May 31, 2017

I recently purchased a 2007 Infiniti G35 automatic. When I'm driving at moderate speeds and make a complete stop or decelerate to near stopping speed then go to accelerate and the car stutters a bit coming out of first gear. Could you help me figure out what this is? Im hoping it's not a transmission issue.

Thanks Jeffrey Miles
