Acceleration and Jerking

[Bad_Ktty02]

I've noticed that when I accelerate up ramps, or even pull from a stop sign that my mx-3 jerks hard into the next gear, even if I'm not flooring it... I want to upgrade the performance, but I need to know why the ride is so jerky first... It even skips my CD player sometimes!<P><P>------------------<BR>thanks,<BR>-=*Heather*=-<P> - '93 Mazda MX-3 GS -

This sounds like a problem some people have. With my 92 Mx-3 Auto Transmission the car jerks going into the next gear. It only happens in the beginning but is fine from there.... I hope it is not going to ruin the engine.<BR>Dean

happens to me only switching the first time though. not as serious as skipping my cd but i notice a jerk.

DO you think I should take it into the shop and let the Mazda people check out why the car is Jerking?? Or... is this only a minor problem? Why is it Jerking anyways???

My car also shifts hard from first to second gear in my automatic. I have changed the tranny fluid , but nothing different. When in the rain , the tires spin form changeing from 1st to 2nd, its kinda cool but when the car slides as it shifts, Im not sure thats rear cool in on coming traffic, Has Any one Corrected this problem??<P> Smamitches@hotmail.com

The rubber mount on my exhaust fell off, ( or broke off ) and I had a terrible jerking like you said since my exhaust was pretty much loose, but safe to drive....

after I fixed it it was fine ... but you probably got a different problem.
