Hi guys,

So I own a 2011 1.3L manual mazda2, it’s my first manual (after driving an EV for nearly a year) and I’ve had it for just under a month.

I’ve realised when I drive in first gear, the car jerks forwards and back quite often, about 5 times every 2 seconds, and I can see the rev meter jump up and down in response. This usually happens after going 5mph.

Does anyone know why this happens or if I should worry? And what should I do in such a situation?

Thanks in advance
