Hey guys, I really hope you can help. 1989 Laforza, 89k miles, 5.0 Liter (Ford Cobra) automatic engine. When I put the car in drive to accelerate, it revs and then jerks into gear, both when I put it into Drive and Reverse, it does that until the engine warms up. The other major problem is that it shakes quite a bit when I accelerate, when i get up to about 40mph it doesn't shake as much. But everytime I come to a stop and reaccelerate it starts shaking again. What do you think? Spark Plugs, compression?

Sounds like it could be ignition related, check engine light? does it hv plug wires or coils?
