After a complete stop at a stop sign or at red light once I remove my foot and apply gas lightly the car Jerks or jumps and has been doing for a month now. Today when when i went to appiled the gas after a complete stop it seemed as it was going to stall and then it jumped....the car drives fine on highways - I had the tranny raplaced at 32,000 miles on this 1999 crappy KIA and now Im up to 64,000- Do i need a new Tranny?

It sounds like you got some gunk in your engine.

If you by some chance got water in your engine the thing I would do is take it to a Jiffy Lube and have them flush your engine. Once they flush your engine get some engine flush and have them clean your engine.

After u get the engine flush and the engine is clean...

Change your oil and drive your car for about 5 miles and see the results.

This could also mean that your sparkplugs are misfiring and u may need to change your sparkplugs...

They usually cost about $5 bucks a plu so it should'nt be that much.
