The symptom is as follows: Driving on flat roads around 30-35 mph at roughly 1000-1200 rpm, the transmission jerks as if it is attempting to shift. The jerk is very quick almost like the motor is missing. As soon as you apply a little throttle it goes away. I haven't completely ruled out the motor but it feels as if it is generated from the middle of the car. Any others have this happen? Any diagnosis? TIA.

My issue was at speeds 35-40 would get a harmonic noise of rotating grinding type noise on flat road, but on slight uphill grade would begin to jerk until I applied more gas. Also felt like the motor was missing, but I had changed the plugs and the week before this started I had replaced all the ignition coils. Also felt like it was generated in the middle of the car.
