I have the exact same issue and my steering wheel moves a bit as well. I'm thinking that it is a combination of bad motor and transmission mounts.

i think you need to elaborate alot then just what you said for any of us to figure out what you mean by jerking.. how does the car run in gerneral in park or goign down the road? Does the car creep forward or tries to as your in drive.. maybe rpm is to high.. maybe you have bad accumalators in your trannsmisson maybe it could use a flush
