When accelerating from stop, the transmission jerks a bit when shifting from first to second. Otherwise it works fine in all other gears and deceleration.

How do I diagnose the problem?

Hello,

It sounds like you have a shaft speed sensor that is going out. Can you run the codes to see what comes up?

Here is a guide to help you get started.
