97' Camry jerks when I let off gas in 1st and 2nd. Help Please?
Hey guys. I just recently bought a 1997 Camry 5 speed V6. The car is great overall but I've noticed lately that the car jerks when I completely let off the gas in first or second gear.
It also jerks when you put more than just a little bit of gas in first or second gear once you've let off. It doesn't have this problem in 3rd or 4th though at all. What could the problem be? If you're knowledgeable please help, 10 points.

Robert - Just wanted to let you know that it does shift quite smoothly, actually, it shifts pretty darn smooth for it's age (150,000). It only makes the jerking motion while in gear, such as staying in first or second throughout a neighborhood. Do you still recommend those repairs given that fact?
Thanks for the great answer

<<<<FIRST>>> try this. YOu may have more than one problem but take $20 to th elocal quicky lube and have them clean your THROTTLE BODY 9on both sides and your IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE. MAny shifting probelms begin with BAD air/fuel mixture and vacuum tourlbes within the IACV adn the t body. THen start OVER agian. PEERHPAS you will need a full TRANS FLUSHA DN FILL formt eh TOYOTA delaership, or someone put the wrong FLUID In your tranny, granny. Toyota requires only dexron-T (T for toyota variant0a dn NOT regular dexron. ALL TOYOTA ccars need fluid changes at 100k intervals. THe DEALERSHIps often run specials on this servie and they will give a good warranty with the work. They will AUTOMATICALLY use the righ fluid, fitlter and gasket, and you have NO WORRIES. GOOD LUCK!!
I had something comparable ensue those days. My automobile is a 1997 Lumina and it would form of kick in as quickly as I placed it in kit to force, then at some point whilst attempting to take my cousin to the ordinary practitioner I placed it in park interior the path of the line till she ran down (it took a minute she replace into pregnant) and as quickly as I went to place it in force it does no longer pass in spite of the shown fact that it would pass in opposite and D2 so I took it to a transmission place and that they did the diagnostic sorting out on it and located that my gears weren't moving (kit selector i think of this is asserted as). besides it would be that like a stick the place u have 2 replace gears your computerized is taking too long to realize that it desires to alter gears. i might get it appeared at or a minimum of ask a mechanic. desire this is not any longer something too severe or costly! stable success
