Default jerky in reverse

I did search and couldn't find anything on this, so if it's been covered i apologize, just point me to the link....

This has been going on for a while now....

When i put the car in reverse to back up, as i push the gas it's almost jerky at times as i start to back up. Anyone experience this? Is this a sign of transmission bushings being bad?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I have the same problem in my car.. If we are indeed experiencing the same problem, I think this a fairly normal thing for every car to do. How bad is the jerkiness though ?

I just noticed this in my car as well recently. It only does this when the car is cold and I use reverse first before drive.

it's not really bad like as in shaking the car, but i notice it. I would say it's more like a little lunge.

My car does it no matter if it's hot or cold. It's more obvious if i'm backing up an incline.

I would say so... like the clutch isn't quite engaging.
