"Rough" Shifting on an automatic

I was wondering if any of you guys know if this is normal or not.

I drive an EX coupe w/ automatic tranny. I noticed that when it's shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear, it shakes the car almost like the gears are grinding. The car is pretty much brand spanking new. Is there a problem with the transmission already? Like from 1st gear to 2nd, it's smooth I can't feel a thing and from 3rd to 4th it's also smooth. Everytime it shifts from 2nd to 3rd gear tho there's a shaking and you can feel it somewhat. The shifter is on "D" the whole time if that means anything.

[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] OH MAN!! Already! I'm on my second tank of gas and the tranny's most likely busted eh? Just my luck

I was hoping it's one of those things I can "ride off" and it'll dissappear...

I'm getting that same shuddering shift. Dealer says trans fluid is OK, and everything is just as it should be. This is now the fifth problem they say is "normal."

Grrr... dealer says it's "normal" ?! Yeah the shaking is more or less a vibrant shuddering when the gears change. I honestly don't think it's normal. I drove my friend's DX tonight and it doesnt do that at all.

I've sent a letter directly to the service manager at my dealership. That has worked before on my Accord - we'll see how it goes this time.
