Only happens when moving from a complete or rolling stop. If i do not bring the rpm's up to around 2000 quick enough when starting to move, it feels like it has a hard time for a second then kind of jerks forward with kind of a clunk and has full response. It is not during a shift as it happens too soon before the car wants to shift and the rpm's do not drop. Does not happen while moving.

Have the transmission level checked to verify your not low on fluid. If okay, check engine and transmission mounts to see if the they are broken.
