How long have you had the car? Does it have a shift kit in it? Most shift kits are designed to shift hard at WOT.

Ok.. It´s not a hit from a firmer shift.. What I meant is that when the car shift from 1st to 2nd.. start bouncing on the rear.. so I have to let the Gas pedal and then step on it again to stop the bouncing..


thanks..

"bouncing"???? What ? Do you mean wheel hop? Are you like WOT? If so then I would say you just have suspension problems and need to get some LCA's and relocal brackets.

If the back wheels are hopping check what S.J.S. said. Are the shocks original in the back, that could be contributing to the problem. If your tranny mount is broke, that will make the car feel like it is jumping up when the transmission slams into the bottom of the car.
