When I accelerate in drive or reverse, it jerks and does not want to seem to move.

Hello,

It sounds like the transmission is low on fluid or the engine is misfiring? Can you give us more to go on? Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see whats going on? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response.

Cheers, Ken

Hi Ken, I will try and get a video soon.
I switched it into full time 4 wheel drive, and the jerking and hesitation stopped.
It seemed to do it in part-time 4 wheel drive, and when the 4 wheel drive is turned off.
A puzzling one.
Thanks for your help.

It sounds like you are having trouble with the rear differential is there a noise coming from the rear of the car?
