Wanted to know why you would think my car jerks. It only happens when Im at a red light and when I go to give gas it will give a quick jerk once, then it will go with no problem. At first I thought it was because I might be hitting the gas to fast but then I discovered that wasnt it. Then i had my transmission fluid changed,that wasnt it so I was just wondering what it is.
