The issue seems to occur usually when the engine is cold. It only happens at low speeds.
Specifically, when accelerating from a stop, if you let off the gas pedal when going between 15-30mph, the car hiccups (or kerplunks, it sounds damaging), then proceeds to shift to the next gear.
If you keep the gas flow steady during 15-30mph, and the car shifts, it shifts smoothly with no hiccup.
Is this probably a fuel injection issue ? EVAP system issue ? Transmission ? Timing ? Trying to just narrow down the issue.
It has really been doing it for years, and I used to believe it started after I got the recommended timing/water pump stuff done at 105K miles, which was 25K miles ago. Not so sure if it wasn't doing it before though.
This happens only in town. The best example would be driving on a level road, accelerating, and when the car is at around 20mph, I see the light change red ahead, so I let off the gas. The car was on the way to shifting to the next gear though, and it shakes like hell before it does the shift a second or two later.
Any ideas ? Also what is a better google search term than "hiccup", "kerplunk", and "shakes like hell and sounds like the engine is going to fall apart" ?
