SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE WE BEGAN FEELING A "BUCKING" SENSATION IN THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION WHEN OUR NEW 2003 CAMRY WOULD SHIFT FROM OVER DRIVE INTO A LOWER GEAR. IT ONLY HAPPENS IN A NARROW RANGE OF SPEED AND ENGINE RPM BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS - THERE IS NO MISTAKING THE "STUTTER". THIS "NARROW RANGE" IS RIGHT AT 38-40 MPH / ~1200 RPM WHICH IS THE SPEED WE COMMONLY TRAVEL ON THE SECONDARY ROADS. *JB
