Default Problem 1 - Transmission

This is a pretty old problem that just doesnt seem to go away...

When i start my car up in the morning, i usually let teh car idle for a while until the temperature rises to a point befrore driving off. Usually as the speed approaces 60Km/h i get a feel a jerk in the transmission. ive tried slowing down adn then speeding up to 60 again and the same thing.

the funny thing is that it goes away after the car warms up to its normal temp 90deg. After that there is no jerking at all.

Ive just had the tranmssion fluid & Filter changed and rechecked the level.

What do you think could be the problem?

Default Sounds like the torque converter unlocking.

Known problem. No known fix.

Tozo has predicted this behaviour vis a vis cold/hot

Default When you are warming up the car, with your foot on the brake,

move the shift lever into reverse and then to neutral and then to drive. Do that twice before driving off and see if that makes a difference. Maybe this will "throw the jerk out"!!
