i have a 88 EA (which i'm selling) but i was just thinking when i put it into gear the car jolts (probably no the best word) what could be the cause of this??

thanks

idle speed to high, transmission cable out of adjustment? is it a 3 speed or 4 speed?

trans may need a service (loose bands) or could also be uni's

I Own A Eb And Had The Same Problem For A While.then I Was Informed Of The Problem Being E.m.s(engine Maintainance System).when The Battery Has Been Disconnnected For Any Reason It Resets The Ems And You Find Your Car Reving Harder Because Mechanics Dont Tell Us This Stuff.the Remedy Is To Remove The Battery Cables For Half An Hour Then After Putting Them Back On,start The Car In Nuetral Then Let It Idle In Drive For About Five Minutes,t\shut The Engine Down As Normal Then Everything Should Be Fine On Starting And Driving Next Time(no More Shunting).good Luck With It Dude.
