When I accelerate quickly from forty or so to highway speeds sometimes the car does not shift smoothly. I will seem to hesitate and the shift with a noticeable jerk. I can't believe this is not causing stress on the drive train. It doesn't seem to happen or I don't recall feeling it if I accelerate slowly or decelarate.
The jerk you are feeling is probably your tranny downshifting from overdrive to 2nd gear. Did you say you never felt that before and you just never realized it before. Depends how heavy the "jerk" is on your car, it could be normal. Any other signs of weird tranny problems?
