Car pulls or lurches in 1st and 2nd gear

Hi there
I did say the symptons of the car are It is like the car is starved for petrol or a learner manual driver is behind the wheel! It kind of bunny hops or lurches mildly when in 1st and second gear, once in 4th gear it appears to run smoothly. Did have problems with the transmission, a clicking sound but this was solved by changing the transmission oil to the manufacturers choice. This was about 3-4 months ago and there were no further problems in that respect.
Thanks Robyn

Hi there

Yes the engine light do come on over a period of 2 weeks ( maybe 4 times). Every time I went to take it to the mechanic the light would go off. It hasnt come on again since and now this problems we are discussing is occuring. I have the car maintained on a regular basis. I feel better with your diagnoisis however I will take it to the mechanic and find out what it is as I use my vehicle for work, I will let you know exactly what the problem is when I get back.
