Default help my car sucks!

So i took my car to the family mechanic because it studders when i give it throttle. Its most noticeable when i just shift into a gear lower than 3000 rpm and i mash the gas. I notice the tach gets shakey and it studders like it doesnt want to accelerate.I can feel it studder throughout the whole rpm range just less noticeable at higher rpms.The mechanic doesnt know whats wrong and said he cant fix somethin thats not broken but i know theres something wrong. Has anyone had simular troubles and can help me on this?

Does the car buck at all under 3000 rpm's? Befor v-tec kicks in it's not gonna get the best throttle response, mine does it too. Once you hit 3500 rpm's does it go away and opens up fine?

Is this a new thing or has it alsways done this?

Wow, i have the same problem, since like 2 weeks ago, when i shift into a different gear the car studders and chokes at low rpms, like below 3000rpm, then i'll just keep my foot on the gas and it stops stuttering and gets back to normal... I've beein getting around this by giving it a lot more gas when i shift, and releasing the clutch really slow, but i'm taking it in tomorrow to a mechanic to have it diagnosed. =/

it hasnt done this before because i always open it up to hear it purr at low rpms but it wants to buck under 3500 after it gets above that it gets better but i can still tell it wants to.
