Why does your car jerk when you let off gas after shifting?

Its normal for most manual cars the clutch is basically shifting gears in the engine but if you are accelrating shifting gears higher it could jerk a little bit so it can lock the gear and preset the engine to the desired gear Now if this is an automatic here you are not hitting the brake pedal fully Transmission fluid is low or empty Or it can be just old so it can jerk a bit to get into gear... however it is potentially bad for an automatic car because it has more parts and the thing it would do the most harm to is the gearbox.
