Jerking

It probably needs engine mounts. Open the hood, start the car and put your foot on the brake and put in drive. With your foot firmly on the peddle press the gas down slowly. If the engine rises then drops the engine mounts are shot. Replace both mounts and the transmission mount. Also check the driveline bushings.
