my wife's car is starting to mess up, when you shift it into gear it starts to jerk like if you are letting the clutch out too soon, what do you think this problem is? or do you have any suggestions? Thanks

All it needed was a tune up, all sparks plugs and plug wires were changed and it is working fine now.. Thanks to everyone who responded.
