Transmission problem
1999 Mazda 626 4 cyl

Ive had my transmission rebuilted twice in the last year, by two different mechanics. The car still jerks when accelerating and pulls/jumps between 35-45 mphs. I can't afford to have the transmission rebuilt again. But the mechanics appear to be lost on what it could be.

Do you have check engine light on?
Have to hook a scanner and drive to check what is going on

The engine light no longer comes on after the last time the mechanic tried to fix it. The car just bucks when I try to accelerate or even at times when I don't have my foot on the gas when the car is decreasing in speed. The last time the mechanic hooked it up to a scanner, he stated that I needed to replace the catalac/converter. But he says that should have nothing to do with the car bucking.

Clogged catalytic converter is the very common reason for engine to lack power and hesitate
