When we test drove the car on last Monday everything was fine. When started the process of buying it the salesman filled the car up with gas and we took possession. Around Saturday we have started to feel a jerking feeling after the car changes to 3rd and 4th gear. We don't loose power or anything and the car keeps up its speed we just have that jerking or shaking motion you can call it. Since the car was purchased used there is no warranty and I doubt I can take the car back. I really need any advice on what to do.

These have a problem with transmission toque converters causing that type of vib. I would that it back to where I bought it and see if they will do anything if not you need to have the converter replaced.

Just depends on what kind of shop you that it to but its not cheep so make sure you take it to a shop with a big name just in case you have anymore problems they will make good on warranty like ammco or the dealer or even goodyear or firestone if they do that kind of repair just don't go to joe's
