Default Stuttering on acceleration

I have a 2005 mustang gt (automatic). The problem is when ever i step on the gas to accelerate faster the back end feels like its stuttering to go or as if the tires are slipping, but im not pushing the pedal to the floor. One example is, i was on the highway going about 70mph and stepped on the gas a little to pass a car, rpms went to around 2700 and the back felt like the tires were slipping or they were stuttering to go. I checked the tires and they are good they arent low or have anything stuck on them. I really dont much about this car i just got it a couple months ago,I love the car but this issue is kind of scaring me if it is something serious. I dont know what it is any help would be great. Thanks!

Could be the trans or something as simple as bad tires. Even if they look fine have them checked for roundness. Do you feel any vibration at all when driving? If you only felt it from a standstill I'd go with wheel hop but at 70mph I doubt it's that.

If it ends up being the trans, try this before spending a ton on repairs. It did wonders on one of my cars: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

i never felt the stutter from a standstill. It was always when i was already driving. When it happens it usually is around 3000 rpm and stops after a couple seconds

Turn off the overdrive button on the shifter and see what happens.

If turning OD off fixes the highway downshift issue, I know what my go to conclusion will include for potential problem areas....
