    hey all, i dont know whats wrong with it but everytime i put my foot down and put load on the car it tends to jerk like it wants to change gears, now the work ive already done is a gearbox service (gearbox is fine) changed the sparks, leads, coil packs has anyone had this happen to their car and if so how did they fix it

    I had a problem a bit like that at around 80-90kmh and if you slowly speed up it would jerk like it was missing or wonting to change back a gear

    I took it to mechanics and they couldn't fine it they changed the plugs filters and who knows what else but they hit me 500 bucks and 2days and it was still the same

    So a few weeks later I when to a mechanic m8 of my'n he had it for the day He said that he can not get it to do it But he put some Injecter cleaner in it with about 1/4 of a tank of petrol and ran around on it for 50k's and that was the last time it done it.that was over a year ago :D

    So I'd try a bottle of Injecter cleaner in it on a 1/4 -1/2 tank of petrol
    see how you go

    ultratune call it a ultra 2000 service and it cost $179 which is the on car injector clean and throttlebody clean and works a treat

    or you can get an off car clean where they replace the seals and evrything but your up for bout $550
