Ok so heres another strange possibly related problem. Tonight I noticed that when the car is in overdrive (about 50 mph and 1500 rpm) and I ease onto the gas without making it downshift, the car jerks like crazy while trying to accelerate. I didnt notice it as much at lower speeds but I did terribly when its in overdrive. Im thinking maybe because the engine is being strained and thats when its most likely to occur? Anyway there are now SES codes or anything and I am lost. I am getting really fed up at this point. Any ideas?
