Hi,

I need to ask a question. In the heading, it indicates an automatic transmission. However, you mentioned it jerks when you shift. Is this possibly a manual transmission?

If it is an automatic, does this only happen when you first place the transmission in drive or reverse or do you experience it when you are driving and the transmission shifts through the gears?

Also, if you haven't already, check the transmission fluid condition and level.

Here is a link that explains in general how it is done:

I attached the directions from my manual for you. It is a little bit of a pain to check this one. The directions also include some diagnostics based on what is found.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care.

Joe
