for the past 2 days I felt that the shifting from 3rd to 4th gear is jerky if I don't let off the gas pedal. It's like I have to ease up on the gas pedal when the car is about to shift from 3rd to 4th. wonder what this could be? anybody ever experience this? mine's 5spd auto btw... thanks

sounds like either a hydraulic problem in the tranny or an electronics issue... I'd get this looked at ASAP by the dealer if I were you

just got back from outside trying to figure out exactly when the jerking happens. only on 3rd going to 4th, under heavy acceleration. makes it obvious i don't really push my car :chuckle anyways, yeah, under normal driving and acceleration, it's ok. is that normal?

thanks theMAN, I'll have it looked at as soon as I can
