It may just be low on fluid.
Low fluid level, and/or dirty filter. If hot rodded, then extra wear on the transmission.
I have driven Sables for years and have found if you are moving at a slow speed, maybe decelerating, and begin to accelerate, sometimes the transmission downshifts with a very noticeable jerk and a thud sound. I put 200k miles on a '96 Sable with this happening and never had a problem requiring attention.
Well, he's not really a jerk. He's just a major pervert and an idiot.
Do you mean JERK?
NO
would an automatic transmission car jerk when shifting after having had a transmission flush
In this sense, a "jerk" most commonly refers to a transmission problem.
yes it will especially when the torque converter is going into lockup
The most common cause of a automatic transmission jerking, when shifting, is low transmission fluid. Fill the transmission to the full mark.
possible problems: broken engine mounts cause the engine to jerk, or tranmission fluid needs change, and possibly bad transmission.
Poor driver or bad transmission.
gas
What do you mean by jerk?.......... Surge? hesitate? transmission slip? Misfire? I need a better explanation.
could be failing transmission
low transmission fluid clogged fluid filter
service the transmission
Slippage in the transmission or a bad torque converter
