while we're talkin transmission here, can somebody identify this problem to me? :

I have a car with auto trans. It's pretty old ('93). When I speed up, the car gives a slight forward "jerk" when shifting from first to second and second to third. the jerks are much less noticable in the higher shifts.

It's prety annoying. I'm so used to it now that I can intuitively release the pedal slightly right when it jerks to counteract it. That helps a little, but it's still annoying for me and uncomrfortable for my passengers. People tell me it's just my bad transmission. Whatever it is, I think it's time to pay a visit to the mechanic. Damn, I hear transmission repairs can get REALLY expensive. Especially if I have to replace it....sucks.
