Transmission Jerking At Take-Off
 

Hello All!

I recently purchased a 95 4runner. Over all, it runs pretty good. It has 140,000 miles on it and the 3.0. The problem I am having is that sometimes after stopping at an intersection, when I hit the gas to take off, it feels like the trans is jerking. It's almost like it is in and out of gear. If I ease of the gas, it will coax into gear and go, sometimes with a hard "bam". All other gears shift nicely and a load doesn't change the characteristics.

Any ideas?

Thanks folks!
