I have that sometimes when i have been driving around the stafforshire moorlands. Depending on the speed your doing and the rpm it will changed between 2 gears. When it levels out its fine. Sport mode works well on a steeper incline as it holds it in gear for longer.

If its behaviour has changed recently, I'd change ATF first - the updated softwar emay mask a lurking issue Thumbs Up!
