car jerks in low speed...
i have an auto, but my car jerks sometimes as if i miss shifted the manual transmission. so i put in the valveline cleaning fluid.. now my car is much better but still jerks occasionally, could it be my transmission?
is it about to die? any suggestions, comments, recommendations i could do to make my car runs better to eliminate the jerk.
my car has around 123,000 miles, GLE auto

My 95SE was having the same problem as it was coming up on 93,000km and I thought it was the transmission too. I later realized that the car was misfiring when I listened at the exhaust pipe. I tested the coil packs according to the Haynes instructions and they were good so I decided it had to be the plugs. I changed to copper plugs 2 days ago. So far the problem seems to be gone. I was getting about 26mpg with the platinum plugs while it was misfiring so this week I will check what I'm getting with the coppers.
