2005 over drive jerking issue

It sounds to me as if you have the beginning of a problem with the clutches/bands. What is happening is that they are trying to engage, but failing and slipping, giving you the jerky feeling. There are likely two causes of this, either the devices themselves are failing — always a possibility — or there just isn’t enough fluid in the transmission to make everything work right.

You didn’t tell me how much fluid was in the transmission, so I would suggest checking the fluid level at your next opportunity. It’s easy to do. In fact, we have a section in our comments area where we tell you how to do it. Here’s a link that describes how to check and change the fluid .

I would be willing to be you will find that your fluid is down a bit. If it is, pickup a can of the proper replacement fluid (you can find it in your owner’s manual) and then slowly add it in, making sure you check the fluid reguarly to ensure you don’t overfill. That should take care of it. Let me know if this helps. I think it will.
