Body is jerking

Hi Peeps,

My ride is corolla 97 xe. lately I noticed that when I am in stop and go trapik for quite sometime and when I shift to first gear, yun body ng car ay naga jerk, di makahatak ng ayos, you need to put in high rev but in normal driving, a normal stop (w/o trapik) then firts gear ay wala naman problem. malakas naman ang hatak ng car ko...Is it the clutch, pressure plate/ or do I need to do tune up? It is true that one way of checking the clucth is put your gear in 3rd (engine is running), slowly press the gas pedal, release the clutch, the car should move very littel and engine will be shutoff.

deng, i TOTALLY thought this thread was going to be about something else

if we're talking about your car, then maybe it is the clutch, or you need to get used to shifting. maybe i don't understand the issue, but when you downshift it's kinda normal for the body to jerk unless you rev it really high before engaging 1st.

if we're talking about a different kind of body, well....um....no comment :evillaugh

hmm. dami pwedeng maging cause yan.

a) dirty fuel lines, carb or fuel filter
b) tune-up/spark plugs
c) high tension wires
d) yung clutch not sure, pero last na yan.

what i suggest is i-pa tune-up mo muna, palit fuel fulter and ipalinis mo yung carb. dun sa shop na ipagpapatune-up mo, i pa check mo na din condition ng HT wires para isang banatan na lang.
