Transmission problem
1997 Saturn SL1 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 185k miles

I am having an issue when it is being given gas and it is between 2-3k rpm. I get an awful shudder in the gas pedal and a strange noise. Then when it shifts to a higher gear, it goes away until my idle is up. It does not do it when I dont have the gas pressede without reguard to the idle. Nor does it do it when it is downshifting. Anything to start me on my goose chase will be appreciated.
I am also not getting any error codes at all.

So are you getting a whining noise while driving when giving it gas and if you let up on the gas it goes away?What do you mean you get a shutter in the gas pedal?Do you mean the transmission?Also make sure your transmission fluid is full and tell me what color it is.
