The problem is probably not the transmission. This same symptom represents a problem with a miss firing ignition system. Since the six cylinder Escape has one coil per cylinder, when the coil(s) misfire, they cause the engine to chug. You can take it to a shop to read the codes from the OBD II diagnostic connector. It will likely identify a misfiring cylinder. Replace the coil on that cylinder and probably the spark plug. This will likely cure your chugging problem. The OBD II readout will confirm if this is the problem.
