What RPM are you shifting into 2nd when you have the "sputter"?

does the check engine light blink? if it does you might need new plugs/wires b/c you are missfiring.... can you give us any more details?

Try plugs, that always helps the sputter

well the problem could be your shifting between 2500 and 3 million rpms... do you have VTEC like adionik? but seriously... i just wanted to make a joke here...

If what your experiencing is just like a lag in acceleration once you shift, its "normal" for a decent number of Neons. The 2003 R/T's that had this problem (mine included) were able to get a PCM reflash that fixed the issue, but I'm not sure if it applies to other year Neons. The easiest way to not notice the lag without spending any money is to just shift at a slightly higher RPM...
