1995 z28 lt1...whats making my car jump when taking off?? alright when im driving my car down the road going like 55 and i let off the gas and then get back on it...it goes perfectly fine....if i floor it and it down shifts from 4th to 3rd or 3rd to 2nd....it goes perfectly fine.......and if im sitting still and SLOWLY take off....it goes perfect.....the problem is:
when im sitting still and i push the gas half way or more the whole car jerks forward pretty damn abruptly like its the U joints...i have to kinda get on it to make it do that though...and it makes a rough sounding noise like it hits and then takes off as if the u joints are going out and you can hear most of the noise coming from the drive shaft or transmission......atleast it seems like thats where its comming from..........it also does it shifting from 1st to second when im really gettin on it or when i make it downshift to 1st it does it really really bad
also my transmission only has about 1000 miles on it...i just had to have it rebuilt $1500 gone...it sucked

mine was, and now is again doing the same thing, my problem, the two bolts that attach the torque arm to the rear end have slotted the torque arm holes (i have no idea either), check to see if it looks like the washers around the bolts have been moving on the torque arm....
