Volvo 940, 260,000 miles

Hi,

I have a big trip coming up next week and I just noticed this.

With car at idle, stopped, with then foot released from brake (no foot on gas) the car sometimes jerks forward rather than going smoothly. Not always but sometimes. Sometimes barely noticeably, other times enough to make my head jerk a little.

If I hit the gas, no problem, it accelerates smoothly.

The transmission fluid at the correct level, has a nice pink color and has been changed not too long ago. The engine is running perfectly.

The car shifts fine. RPMs are normal. I don't see any other issues.

Should I be worried about this? Thank you!
