pretty sure its a tranny problem, i have this issue too and have no idea whats causing it. theres a delay in shift and vibrates the whole car around 3k rpm and if i accelerate more, the car vibrates more.

Could it be a possible misfire due to faulty spark plugs??

Where I work some cars surge/jerk due to misfiring. Just an idea..

could be the sparks ...... what i'm feeling the vibration that jerks is coming from not enough gas flowing, like if I decrease and let go the gas, the car vibrates but if I keep it on and press on it nothing happens, rides smooth

man i gotta get this checked out

well ok after driving many dif ways to my car.... i come to a conclusion that my car shakes or vibrate a lot when I try to accelerate the car, but not like floor it. Let say I'm driving 35 mph and want to go to 45 or higher, I start to press on the gas and it goes up a little then it start to vibrate mad crazy. So then I step on the gas hard, floor it, but rpm does not past 5 and the car stops shaking, then I let go and just put my foot on the gas to keep it at the speed I want.

What exactly is going on? Is it really the fuel injector line being clogged, or is it something more serious Please help me guys so I can call my technician and fix it during the xmas break so I can get back to work!

could be a number of things:

leaking intake hose.
spark plugs
exhaust leak
trans problem
o2 sensor problem.
blown gasket(s).
leaking seals.

Check your motor mounts...

And tell your technician to go ahead and drive it, that should give him an idea of where to begin.
