When I start my car and start driving, the car jerks and makes sounds like hiccups and rpm's go almost all the way. In less than 30 seconds the car shakes and starts moving smooth. No engine light on.

Good morning,

This sounds like the transmission is not engaging completely.

How long since you serviced the transmission?

Wow, that is a service that should be done every year or 2 depending on miles.

Most shops will charge you from $119.00 to $149.00 depending on your area.
