Michael, can you explain this? Do you mean the stuttering
(or whatever irregular gas/air flow/spark at the cylinders)
sort of fools the driver into thinking it's a shift problem?
E.g. As the gas pedal is pressed during up shifting, engine
RPM does not change the way it should, so the shifting is
not all that smooth?
