cold shift stutter

Hello, I just bought a 03 ranger edge 4x2 automatic with 36,000 miles a couple months ago. I have to let it sit and warm up for about 30 seconds before shifting or else it will have a shutter when engaging. Sometimes it will do it after I have drove a short distance. After its went into gear or warmed up I don't seem to have a problem. It does it whether it is warm out or not. Dealer says its not a problem but I have never experieced it with any other vehicle or other rangers that are the same type. Should I worry about it, or just live with it? No other problems.

It doesn't sound normal to me. By shutter, do you mean the truck shakes when you begin to move forward in drive? Does it do it in reverse?
