I wonder what it counts as a "clutch slip". Sometimes after I stop, my car will jerk a bit the next time I accelerate. It feels like it starts to take off, then jerks into what feels like Neutral for just a split second, then snaps back into acceleration.

When this happens in CS mode, it's far more exaggerated...one time I started to take off and it jerked mildly a couple times and then completely stopped accelerating for about a full second until it started the engine and then everything was fine. This has never thrown any codes though, and it doesn't happen very often...did yours do anything like this?

I do recall similar "jerk a bit" symptoms a few times previous to the final break down. I thought it may have been wheel slippage on wet road. The loaner Volt never had any "clutch slip" for the 16 days we drove it. So far the new transmission is working perfectly.

Hopefully my symptoms don't lead to needing a transmission replacement...at that point I'm going to ask GM to buy my car back and I'll get a RAV4 hybrid.

Other people on the forum have experienced this too so maybe it's just something that happens, like the exhaust afterfire...
