Default Car jumps when i start the car!!!

When I start the car it leaps forward about a foot as if someone pushed it!! The thing is my car is automatic not 6-speed.....what do you guys think the problem is?? And also my reverse hits hard when i put it in...could it be that i need a tranny rebuild??? Thanks

Mine does it too, but not all the time. Usually the first start in the morning. It only lunges a couple of inches or so, but it is noticeable. Weird.

I know I've built a few transmissions with tight forward clutch clearances and they would do this.
Maybe your forward piston is sticking or the plates are warped.
Thats just a guess.

Well the drive position is pretty far away from park so I'd say thats a waste of time.
