Why does your 99 grandprix jump forward while in drive but at a dead stop?

There are a few potential reasons why your 1999 Grand Prix may be jumping forward while in drive at a dead stop.

* Engine Mounts: If the engine mounts are worn out, they may no longer be able to effectively hold the engine in place, causing it to move and jerk forward when you accelerate.

* Transmission Mount: The transmission mount may also be worn out, causing the transmission to move and causing the car to jump forward.

* Driveshaft: If the driveshaft is damaged or out of alignment, it can cause the car to jump forward as it tries to connect with the transmission.

* U-Joints: The U-joints in the driveshaft may also be worn out, causing the car to jump forward as the driveshaft rotates.

* Torque Converter: If the torque converter is damaged or not functioning properly, it can cause the car to jump forward as it tries to transfer power from the engine to the transmission.

It is important to have the car inspected by a qualified mechanic to determine the exact cause of the problem and have it repaired as soon as possible to prevent further damage to your vehicle.
