Description of the problem	The transmission on my car will commonly shudder when shifting in lower gears, frequently creating an unsafe lag in moments where quick acceleration is required. The problem becomes more pronounced as the period of continuous or near-continuous use increases. It is my understanding that, at present, the transmission is not shuddering enough to warrant a repair under the terms of my warrantee, however i believe that is due to my continual adjustment to driving style to accommodate this unsafe situation. I don't believe it's prudent for me to exacerbate the situation at the risk of my family's safety in order to qualify for repair at the manufacturer's expense. The shuddering itself can range from a light flutter to a complete disengagement of the clutch for a second or two. At highway speeds, that amount of time is unacceptable. To me, it feels as though the software is attempting to decide and actuate a desired gear ratio, but doing so in a timeframe that is far longer than what it would take me to do so in a manual transmission. Additionally, some engagement mechanism or program frequently misjudges the engagement of the clutch, resulting in mechanical abnormality ranging from a flutter to a shudder to a loud and forceful knocking as it attempts to engage. The odd behavior is most pronounced when shifting between first, second, or third gear. Occasional but very alarming disengagement of the clutch can occur at highway speeds. Turning can seem to exacerbate the problem.
