Audi A4 2.8l quattro 1997 automatic trans problem
 

Hey guys,
I am very new to automatics and hate the lack of control but i learned to live with it. However recently the audi has started stuttering between 1400-2000 rpm. Its almost as if somethign stops it from going for a little while ( similar to the bump when changing gears in old worn down auto trans. but much les noticable.. ) It only does it when you are truing to gently accelerate in that rpm range ( i.e. keeping to same speed is ok no stuttering or giving lots of gas is ok as well as it goes down a gear and up to 2300+ rpm ) The problem is not really noticable unles you are stuck in rushour trafic but i would like to know what it could be and if it is dangerous.
Cheers in advance for your replies.
