Automatic Transmission Jerk
So lately when Im driving her when i shift from any gear (Automatic transmission) there is a big jerk.
For Example:
From Neutral i shift to Reverse the car would jerk then run smoothly. This also occurs when shifting into Drive.
has anyone had experience with this type of problem ?

Might be an easy fix.
Is the idle to high?
Check the differential bushing.
How are the U joints? PG.

As said above, idle could be too high. This is also a sign of the torque converter going out.
