Jerky Starts

[Jeremoose]

Hey everyone.

I just noticed my car doing this but its possible its been doing it for awhile. Whenever I'm in first gear and I'm very slowly inching forward its really jerky, it feels kind-of bumpy and I can feel it through the clutch (if that makes sense). It only does this when I'm "half-clutched" and inching forward, but once it's fully in-gear the car goes fine. Also sometimes when I clutch in to shift up or down it seems to engage REALLY sharply and kind-of clunks a little bit. My clutch isn't slipping however...

A second question: every once in awhile when I get on it in second or third the car's power just cuts out for a split second the picks up again and keeps going without missing a beat. It feels like bad plugs or wires but my plugs and wires are in brand new and gapped correctly.

Any thoughts?

1. Fuel Filter
2. Boost/Exhaust Leak
3. Make sure you're running the correct plugs
4. Coilpack

Perfect. And I should check these things out for both problems, yes?

I would, yes. Post back if it doesn't fix anything, and maybe some more insight if it persists and we'll see what we can do.
