Flutter on acceleration, low RPMs

Just putting this out there in-case anyone else has noticed it as well:

2023 Badlands/Squatch with 30k on the clock. Around 25k I heard something new, while driving from Idaho to Ohio. I was 400miles into the drive, and it continued to occur when I would slow to a roll, and then accelerate. Mostly around 1,000-1,300 RPM. More pronounced if going up an incline. Diminished or non-existent going downhill. It was as if the transmission was shifting into too high of a gear, and not engaging as it should. If I shift into manual mode, I'm able to almost completely eliminate it, by keeping the RPMs above 1,500. I have an appointment in December, to have it looked at. (Unfortunately, I work longer hours than the dealerships are open.) Will update if/when I have an answer. Feel free to share any insights, if it sounds familiar. Oh, and the other thing I noticed, was that it is usu. around 25-50% pedal. Possibly some kind of servo?

It could possibly be a shift solenoid. We had a MKC that would do something like that.
