    Out of nowhere while driving normal city speeds from light to light, 3rd gear would shutter. As soon as it shits up or down it would resolve. Only in 3rd gear at low RPM.
    My mechanic recommended we try a transmission flush and reported that it seemed like it could have been low on fluid.
    After driving it with the new fluid, PROBLEM SOLVED!!

    I know this has been a know issue but a $125 fix vs a tranny rebuild deserves a reminder post!
