Title: JERKY ACCELERATION PLEASE HELP
Post by: Gunnar on February 23, 2017, 10:18:47 PM

M42 dudes I have a 91' 318is and if I even think about putting my foot down hard it stutters and feels jerky, so I have to clutch it and give it an extra 1k rpm to get it to where I can let the clutch out. Any advice helps. I need to learn how to fix this.

A video may help, if you can.

Does it run okay otherwise?
