I've sometimes had weird hesitations and mis-shifts. Seven gears seems a lot to choose from! But I've never had it "buck then stop." All that torque, applied when you put it in gear, can give her a little shove.

I have noted that recently (possibly as temps have risen), to back out of the garage at anything above dead slow requires a touch of the accelerator pedal. It could be the heat and it could be the ~33,000 miles. Dunno.
