Just checked the fuel filters and they look ok. No chunks of black or anything at all, just some small pieces of rust in the pre-screen.

I took a quick drive after too and the shifting phenomenon is still there but not the same everytime. Sometimes it will hesistate goign into second, sometime now third. But oddly the hesitation isn't the same everytime and not always prevalent. And my MPG looks horrible so far. Would it be safe to say that it's some bad fuel and to run the tank way down before I refuel again?
