it depends. Could be that your tranny is on its way to heaven. The pressure isn't consistent while changing gears.

hmm... the weird thing is once the engine gets some heat it shifts smoother than my moms 06 accord:thinking:

auto trannies can be a nightmare when you run into problems. A lot of people overlook getting the fluid flushed. Either way it shouldn't shift rough when cold.

wow this thread title kind of makes me wanna stay away from it.

Like he said...
It's usually a fluid issue with jerking though.

Hope it doesn't have to be replaced. :goodjob:

the fluid is "thicker" when colder so it creates more line pressure in you transmission giving you a firmer shift. change with the correct fluids and change the filter
