Alright my problem lies within the shifting between first and second gears. If i was to take off from a stoppped position once the car trys to shift into second it shutters pretty bad but all gears after the fact shifts great. The thing I'm hoping for is it's an easy fix ha ha, but thats why i'm asking you because no one can anwser me so thank you for your time.
