My Boss has developed a jerky driveline when coasting down then re-accelerating, as in turning a corner in second gear then applying power out of the corner still in second gear. My dealer had the transmission out for a rebuild and this condition has developed since. It's become pretty hard to drive the car smoothly around town. The worse instance was on a side street with my wife where I had to coast down in second gear while an oncoming car cleared the lane. When I hit the gas to go, both our heads nearly bounce off the head rests from the shock of the power hitting the driveline. That's very disconcerting. I find that I have to apply power very carefully until the slack in the driveline is taken up.
The car was very smooth driving before, no clunks or jerkiness at all. Are there any specific parts or tolerances related to removing the transmission that may have caused this? I expect that I will send the car back to the dealer to try and correct the problem but I'd like to get an idea of what to expect before I set that up.
