Yeah it happens on occasion, usually when starting off from a stop sign.

I know some of the coarseness is the result of poor diesel fuel my dad puts in "It's the cheapest fuel station, just $3,85/US gallon! ($1,02/litre) but often I wish it would provide more oomph instead of dialing up the revs to 3k before upshifting.
