Hi, I just bought a 98 jetta GT automatic with 82k miles. It drives very well except that 1% of chance, i felt a jerk when i was trying accelerate from stand-still, such as after waiting a red light on an up-slope or driving across a bump. On other gears it felts perfect. It seems acting from the transmission system. It has a sealed transmission, and dealer said I do not have to do any maintenance until 100k-120k. Previous owner did regular oil change and a complete tune-up at 60k miles including the timing belt.
Did anyone had the same problem? Thanks for advise!

 

not sure on the years but i know some of the older jettas have had issues with transmissions, my girlfriend went through two transmissions in a year in her jetta. couldn't hurt to bring it in, could save getting a new trans. hard shifiting can sometimes be fixed by getting a fluid drain/change
