Default stumble at low rpms T56

Test drove a camaro today, at low rpm's it would stumble,jerk a bit, then it would be fine and pull well throughout the rest of the rpm's. It would do this in reverse and badly starting from a roll in second. Has anybody had or know what the problem could be? It also seemed to be quite hotter air than my car coming from underneath the console. Any ideas?

Sounds like cam surge, or clutch chatter. Is the car stock or modded?

Yeah not trying to be mean at all, believe me, but that does sound like what happens when somebody is new to a standard tranny.

could be clutch, driver, and even the egr valve. my car bucked like crazy at low rpms when my valve decided to take a dump. pull the vacum line off the valve and plug it, and see if that stops it. is there a SES light?
