Re: [T3] Not much response to my mail re slightly jerky acceleration


This may sound really stupid,but I had a slightly
jerky issue with mine and damn near tore the motor
apart and tuned,tested,replaced and recalibrated
everything. just to find out that the right rear brake
shoes were out of adjustment, but only slightly. One
of the shoes was too close to the drum and was
grabbing a tiny bit. Not enough to stop the car or
make any noise. Just enough to produce a little
hesitation in 1st and 2nd. I felt like a moron when I
discovered it. I'm not saying the brakes are your
problem,but it may be somthing weird like that.
