* Transmission fluid level: If the transmission fluid is low, it can cause the gears to slip and jerk. Check the transmission fluid level and add more if necessary.
* Transmission filter: A dirty transmission filter can also cause the gears to slip and jerk. Replace the transmission filter if it is dirty.
* Shift linkage: The shift linkage is the mechanism that connects the gearshift lever to the transmission. If the shift linkage is loose or damaged, it can cause the gears to slip and jerk. Inspect the shift linkage and repair or replace it if necessary.
* Driveline: The driveline is the series of components that connect the engine to the wheels. If there is a problem with the driveline, it can cause the car to jerk when you put it in gear. Inspect the driveline for any loose or damaged components.
If you are still experiencing jerking after checking all of these things, you may need to have the transmission inspected by a qualified mechanic.
