  Heavy jerking in auto transmission is not healthy How much is your mileage now? Maybe, you would like to check the condition of your atf first to see if it is still in good condition. Otherwise bring it back to KM and ask them to check it

  I used to have the same problem with my auto 2001 Civic.
  
  I changed the atf and it solve the problem...... but 16,000km seems a little. Nevertheless, try it out.
  
  After this incident, i changed the ATF after every 20,000km.
  
  Hope this helps.

  usually thats the clutch engaging and disengaging. They got a tendency to 'throw clutch' sometimes thats what i noticed

  auto trannies use torque converters to effect the transmission of power. not clutches lah.

  so power is directed to the torque converter when changing gears?

  Manual transmission got only 1 clutch, auto got more clutches than you think.

  power is always transmitted from the engine to the torque convertors via viscous coupling. nothing to do with changing gears which is controlled by other parameters.
