My Car has a slight jerk in it when I i push the gas or let off of the gas. It isn't very sharp, but noticable nonetheless. When you give is gas, it is very tiny jerk, then all is well. Same happens when I give it gas, it is a slight jerk, like the engine goes for a split second, then gives power to the car. RPMs don't raise like a trans slip. I've been in another car that did it, but the car was never maintained, so it isn't a good comparison. Any ideas what could cause it, motor mounts maybe? They could be bad. And last how could I test if my mounts are bad? Cost to replace them?
