I have a 2005 Town and Country minivan when I'm parked and put it in drive and start to drive from 1st gear to 2nd gear shift hard, like a jerk

Sounds like you need to get your transmission looked at. Any dashboard lights on, like the check engine light?

That's what I thought

Thank you

can also be something as simple as a slight misfire or needing plugs and wires and maybe coil packs. ive seen that also fix the hard shifts. either that or transmission internal issues with the solenoids for the clutches usually go bad and make hard shift. usually pressure solenoid ✌ take care much love from st louis
