HELP! 2005 TL Sputters Coming Out Of 3rd Gear

I have a 2005 TL that sputters when transitioning from 3rd gear to 4th gear. I’ve taken it to the dealer and they ran a diagnostic test and found nothing. I was told it may be due to the gas I used. I primarily purchased gas from Costco and B.J.’s 92 premium octane. I’ve been using Exxon and Sunoco 92 premium octane gas for over six months now and I’ve use a couple of fuel cleaners. The change has helped but it still sputters a bit. What else could be the problem and what can I do to fix it?

Thanks!
