is this a characteristic trait of automatic transmissions? i've always driven a manual trans in the past.
thanks.

Yes. Mine does exactly the same thing. It only seems to do it when you slow down from highway speeds and then start accelerating pretty hard at slower speeds. For example, if you drive on the interstate for a while, exit, slow down on the ramp, and then get on it again pretty hard, it always seems to exhibit this behavior. I go through that sequence whenever I drive it to work, and I have noticed over time that it always seems to happen at about the same place. My solution is to just stop slowing down for the ramp
