My car is at Infiniti for a similar problem if I translated your Vvvvvrrroooom's correctly. It only seems to be on the 1st to 2nd shift. If I bring the revs above 4000 RPMs (in first) it hesitates for maybe a half second and then sort of slams into gear (2nd). If Infiniti finds the problem I will ask them what it was.

Sorry it took so long to get back. Ive been a little busy.
Anyhoo, the dealer replaced a resistor pack in the trany controler and now the car shifts great. It was weird though, for about a day after I got the car back the trany seemed confused about when to shift. Maybe it had to re-learn my driving style.? So don't worry if this happens with you... I guess?
This was all covered by the dealer. It didn't cost me a dime

Nguyendot,
Just take it to the dealer and tell them exactly what you told me. They will drive your car and try to replicate the symptoms you give them and they should know where to start looking. The work should all be covered still so you shoulden't have to pay.
You could tell them that you spoke with someone with a similar problem and it turned out to be a resistor pack in the trany controle unit.
