I've got a 95 with 98K on it. When shifting from first to second, there's a noticeable "jerk" that occurs, but ONLY when the car is cold (i.e. for the first 5-7 minutes of operation).
Of course, I'm in Cleveland, and it's getting colder.
Any advice?

Have you done any transmission maintenance on this vehicle?

Sounds like it's time for a fluid and filter change...

I think he has a manual transmission, probably the clutch.
No maintenance yet. Took the car to a local repair shop. Their story was that the trannie is fried, and would need to be replaced. Although they've been reliable in the past, I question this diagnosis since it behaves just fine after warmup.
Planned to change fluid and filter over the weekend, though. BTW, it IS an automatic. Thinking of putting one of the "transmission flush" products through it before the change. If anyone has any experience with these fluids, I'd appreciate the feedback.

Don't expect miracles with the tranny flush chemicals...they CAN help to some extent (Trans-X worked fairly well for my C4, )
