My car seems to have trouble shifting automatically. When coming from a complete stop, I push on the gas and the car jerks into gear, and sometimes will not go into gear for about 10 seconds. During that time the engine will rev before jerking back into gear. This usually happens at a stop, but will occasionally do it while going into 3rd or 4th gear. Could this be a trasmission problem?

Yes has fluid and filter been changed? A scanner will tell if a shift valve is at fault.
