When I drive it normal, not racing, it jumps or studers at the begining of first gear. not all the time but it is doing it more and more often. anybody know what it is.
 
You'll have to be more specific with the "jumping." Is it bucking? Is it bogging down? Loss of power?

Is it only in first gear? If so around what RPMS?

Do you have a datalogger? If so check your low fuel trim, make sure it is at or around 100% on a 1g, or 0 on a 2g.
 
If you have ever been in a fwd car and it wheel hopped that is what this feels like. It doesent feel like fuel has to do with it. so what do you think it is.
ps I have no data logger.
 
My car does this exact same thing. Has done it for a long time. No idea what it is though sorry. Just want you to know your not alone.
 
and....to add, mine does this as well. feels like a wheel hop, and is at the beginning of first gear, no other gear does this.
 
^ups,

Mine does this also on occasion, i just attribute it to a poor clutch release. if its something else lemme know :thumb:
