Did you just replace your sparkplugs?

Getting a misfire code? Specific cylinder or random on OBD?

do you think it could actually be the "shudder" all the auto guys are talking about at ~40mph instead of an actual misfire?

before you do anything i would check with an OBD. sometimes there are *pending codes.

+1 on the shudder. i can't envision a misfire without a code getting thrown, plus a misfire is unlikely to only present itself at that RPM/speed, typically a bad plug or coilpack will stay bad and cause issues all the time.

i would recommend installing the black betty grounding kit, i have had no issues since i put it in. also, consider telling your dealer and having your transmission control re-flashed. i don't know if that has resolved it for anyone though.
