why does my car jerk at low speed?
it can be a front end problem or transmission issue, the first thing you should do is have your tires balanced to check for uneven wear. if that isn't it, then your vehicle needs to be looked at by a certified technician who will diagnose the issue for you.

why is my car jolting when i accelerate?
you may be experiencing wheel hop.
wheel hop is when the vehicle's weight transfers to the tires on one side of a wheel in a fender well, and then back to the other side of the tire in a fender well. when this happens during an acceleration, it can cause shakes and shakes because your engine doesn't have enough time to adjust for weight changes in between shifts!
there are four main causes of wheel hop – bad tires or worn ones, too much or too little air pressure, worn shocks or springs that aren't working properly, and bent suspension parts from hitting something when parking. the first three items will need parts replaced while fixing the fourth item only requires some bending adjustments with basic tools under supervision
can transmission cause car to jerk?
yes, transmission problems can cause the car to jerk.
some many occurrences of jerking and other unusual behavior during driving could be caused by transmission issues and it is advisable to take your vehicle in for diagnosis to determine what may be causing these issues. sometimes transmission problems occur when a fluid in the transmission has been contaminated with materials that can cause damage or when a component in the housing has been compromised due to heat or outside forces such as rocks or road debris that end up damaging mechanical parts inside of it, excessive torque from improper installation could also contribute to a breakdown over time.
what does it mean when your car jerks?
the source of the jerk may be wrong transmission gear, too much torque on either axle, or a slipping clutch. if it's an automatic transmission it could also be worn synchros in the torque converter or timing chain. check your manuals for more information that applies to your car specifically because this is not nearly universal knowledge. the point that i'm making is that you should take care of any repairs and maintenance that need doing and don't just hope everything will fix itself over time because if doesn't work like that and people prefer to call mechanics before they're stuck with a $5000 repair bill.
