Mine did that a little when I first got it. I replaced the fuel filter and cured it.

So u guys think it might be my fuel or something because i dont think it's that because i know it does it still when i have a full tank of gas. I have been having problems with my tranny lately every now and then like when i'm in third the rpms will get up to around 3000 or so and it will stay there for a while and then finally shift. It doesn't do it all the time but every now and then it will do it, like when i'm giving it a lot of gas. So my dad thinks it might be that the tranny's slippin. Would this cause the slight shudder when i'm going up hills or not?

Yours sounds like a trany problem with the higher rpms in 3rd. Mine was more of nosing over and struggling when I stomped it down. I replaced the filter now it screams.

mines most likely the filter, cause i just had to get the tranny replaced less then a month ago due to it locking up in gear (crappy rebuilt from the previous owner).
