Assuming it is not driver error there are two possibilities.
Either the clutch is slipping under higher torque delivery and causing the vehicle to buck, or the transmission is damaged internally.
If it is a clutch issue it's only a matter of time until the clutch fails, but make sure there is no oil or brake fluid on the clutch disk - this will damage the new part as well.
The easiest way to tell if it is internal damage is to look for debris in the fluid - try draining the fluid through a coffee filter. A little metal shaving discharge is normal, but any larger particles indicate a problem.

What causes a car to jerk in and out of first gear?
Poor driver or bad transmission.
Why does the car jerk when shifting into 1st 2nd and 3rd gear?
If it's an automatic, your transmission may be dying; if you drive a manual, you're probably letting the clutch out too fast.
What is wrong when a car put from park to drive jerks?
That might be the sign of a transmission problem. My car used to jerk when I put it in reverse. But if you wait a couple seconds until it is completely in gear, I bet it won't jerk. Having it checked out with a mechanic maybe in your next oil change might be a good idea. Tip for checking your transmission: When you are driving 60mph, put your car in neutral - if your car rolls smoothly in neutral, there is no problem. If it shakes or does something weird, you wanna have it checked out. Reminder: Putting the car from FORWARD gear (not reverse) to Neutral while in motion in either automatic or manual gearbox will not damage the transmission.

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.
Why does the Car jerk forward while braking is it the ABS or the transmission?
If a car jerks forward while in the break position it is not the Automatic Break System but rather the transmission.
