Could be time for a transmission service by having the fluid and screen replaced. if that doesn't do it you may want to have a reputable transmission place inspect and or adjust the power bands based on your milage being high or not. Could be a torque converter problem. Worst case scenario is a malfunctioning or damaged transmission.

Sounds like the transmission is not shifting right or that our lockup converter is not disengaging.


Could you help me I bought a used car for daughter to drive to college-two days later the car jerking so bad when You first drive it then stops jerking after 5 miles the motor gets really hot?

There is probably more than one problem here. What type of car, manual or automatic, millage. Reasonable acceleration with the jerking or poor. It is going to take a bit more information to start to figure a possible answer.


Car shakes during acceleration?

What is the car's acceleration between 25s and 30s?

The car's acceleration between 25s and 30s can be calculated by determining the change in velocity during that time interval and dividing it by the time elapsed. Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time. You need to know the initial and final velocities of the car during that time period to calculate its acceleration.


How can the velocity of a car during breaking at a constant acceleration against time from the moment of applying the breaks?

The velocity of a car during braking with constant acceleration can be calculated using the kinematic equation: final velocity = initial velocity + acceleration * time. As the car brakes, the initial velocity decreases to 0 m/s (assuming the car comes to a stop), and the acceleration due to braking is negative. Therefore, the equation becomes: final velocity = -acceleration * time.


What does jerking during acceleration means with your 1994 Cutlass Supreme?

Means that it probably needs a tune-up, take it in and let them put it on the engine machine to find the problem instead of throwing parts at the problem.


What is happening when your 2013 Equinox is spurtering and jerking after acceleration?

Can you drive your car if the car is jerking?

no because your car can die or the transmission might slip. you can have a clogged Fuel Injectors , your fuel filter can be dirty and need to be replaced. In so rare cases if your car is jerking to hard it can resulted in a bad transmission.
