Sounds like you might have a spark plug or coil pack breaking down causing a misfire. Could also be a bad injector, but most of the time it is a coil. What is the mileage and have you had the spark plugs replaced?

I have 110K on it drive 60 mi. round trip hoghway maintain it closely it has been present for last 30K getting slowly worse till a cpl months ago had a check light went in to dealer scan it 2 times diff appts and swapped the O2 sensors f/r to double check the code (least that was what was recommended) and came up as a right bank catalytic converter issue. so I swapped it out and a cpl months ago did a tranny filter change. now the light is gone and still have the stutter when in OD or mainly in the 12-1800 RPM range. I have not changed plugs or packs but did not show on either scan would it not? saw a tsb that was similiar to the issue and wondered if it might be a shift solenoid or torque converter?..hope that is enough background lol

What you are discribing sounds more like an engine issue than a transmission problem. You are way overdue for spark plugs. I suggest a complete tune-up including fuel and air filters. You may also have some weak COPs as a result of worn spark plugs.

well I have changed them at regular intervals (fuel / Air filters) but it only has an issue in the 12-1800 Rpm range all others runs great so I would most likely rule out plugs as at high rpm is seems fine just that range it has issues?
