So I was come home from work and I noticed it jerked when I'd let off the gas in 5th gear. Any idea of what it might be. It happens on my 01 gt

I'm also replacing the

Clutch
Pilot bearing
Throw out bearing
Flywheel
U joints
And upgrading my crossmember

First climb under and check your bolts for the driveshaft,then inspect the u joints.
Mostlikely ujoints the problem.

Also does your shifter stick wobble while in idle,check mounts
Or balancer is off balance and caused your bolts to wiggle a little loose then breaking the u joints. Sounds overboard but happened to me

Lol you're lucky you didn't find a driveshaft through your floor.

I just did my clutch and I didn't put lock tight but probably will in a day or two an te jerking seems more of air that's not going through or something Right now I'm getting p0171 and p0174 codes. Talked to a guy and said a I have a air leak some were just can't figure out where maybe the maf sensor
