Hello all! I have a 2002 3.8 5 speed with 65,xxx miles. before i explain the problem i want to be sure that im not stupid and i know how to drive a manual car! ok with that out of the way when taking off in first gear, i engage the clutch, not reving the SHI@ out of it then leting off, and when i start giving it gas after the clutch is fully engaged, it starts to jump, not a lot but just enough to make the people in the car jump a little in thier seat. after i shift out of first into second around 2,100 rpm, the same thing happens after i shift, clutch fully engaged i give it gas gets a little jumpy. rarely happens in third but has happend. no other gears do this. now im thinking it maybe is a transmision mount?? any replys are apriciated!! thanks!!

 

It could be that you're due for a new set of spark plugs and wires (I recently changed mine after having a problem similar to what you describe)... but if they're new, or if changing them doesn't fix it, then it could be your clutch starting to go out.

 

were are u feeling the jump? steering wheel, clutch peddle, seat?

 

My 95 had the same issues. After a full tune up, she runs great. Make sure you checkthe coil packs too

 

check the trans mount.does it happen in reverse too?
