Question Jerking Problem!

Hey all, I have 05 es300 auto trans and when car goes into 2nd gear and sometimes third it jerks. I have had the motor mounts replaced and problem still remains. I brought it to a shop and they said it wasnt the tranny and it could be a drive train problem and the drive train replacement would cost lots of money. Could anyone maybe give me other sugestions on what to look for?

I would consider the kickdown cable adjustment, except for the fact that it doesn't happen all the time.

And considering a 2005 has no kickdown cable. It is electronically controled.

By the way. If it is an 05, its not a ES300, it is a ES330.

Default brakes

Possbilly the brake are exacerbating it if one or more are locked/frozen up.

But the mounts, exhaust leak, intake leak, etc that everyone else is what I would guess are the most likely.

Another thing, you said 05 here. But, you meant 1995 since your profile says you have a 1995. You kinda confused people on that since a 2005 ES posting should be under the other thread. I think I solved this one.
