What would cause a 1997 Saturn to jerk occasionally after all gears have changed and it's running over 50 mph Could it be as simple as a dirty fuel filter or am I looking at a transmission problem?

It could be as simple as an occasional misfire so don't assume transmission problems. Start with the simple things first. Use a code scanner to see if there are any diagnostic codes that have been stored in the computer. That will usualy catch most electronic problems. And yes, it could be a fuel filter problem, but check the codes first. Yes it most likely is a misfire Check the plugs first then pull the wires off the coil towers You may find corrosion on the coil towers which will cause the misfire or jerk at higher speeds

I had the same problem with my 96 Grand Voyager. When the transmission has a problem it will lock in first gear as not to leave you stranded in the middle of nowhere.

How To Choose used pickup transmission?
Assuming this is a used automatic transmission you are looking for, if the used transmission is already removed from a vehicle, look at the color of the fluid when you pull the dipstick. It should be a nice wine red with no burnt odor. If the transmission oil pan looks like it has been removed recently, stay away from that one, someone may have changed the fluid and filter hoping that would cure a problem they were having with it.
