This problem could be in the transmission or there could be a broken axle, if the vehicle is front wheel drive. Start by checking the computer codes if possible, for any issues that may show where the problem is.

Your transmission is shot. Have a new one installed with a warranty. Just a side note: if you live in hilly or moutainous area, lock it out of overdrive for local driving. Reserve overdrive for interstate highways. When the transmission has to constantly shift up and down it will wear it out prematurely.

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.
