My 92 525 does the strangest thing when im accelerating out of a stoplight. If i do a short shift, like from first to second keeping the rpms very low, the vehicle will suddenly buck violently. It also happens when going from second to third. Whenever this happens I always instinctivley press in the clutch to put the engine in neutral and then slowly release the clutch to perform a proper shift. WHen this happens it usually startles me because the kick is pretty hard and sudden. This never happens if I shift at the proper time but sometimes we get lazy and dont shift perfectly. I dont think my car should be doing this when I bog it down a little bit. What could be happening here?
