[QUOTE="alxy, post: 527477, member: 2947"] I had same symptom for my 325. When changing down from 3rd to 2nd, would jerk. Not always though, usually when car has been driven some distance/time. Then problem started becoming worse, jerks came even when car traveled only short distances. Finally one day, everything just went south..... step on gas, all the VROOOM VROOM noise associated with revving to 6000rpm but car goes inch by inch only. Luckily was close to home and just managed to limp home. Had to call tow truck to take car to mech. DIagnosis? GB failure. Overhaul/rebuild the entire thing, including changing torque converter. Cost? OOOOUUUUCHHHHH!!!!! :) If it's any consoltation to you, I had the jerk symptom for almost 2 years before GB gave up on me. So you might still have time..... or you might not! If this is your daily ride which takes you far away from home, then better get it done. Last thing you want is to be stuck far away from home when you're rushing to go somewhere. [/QUOTE]
