I just bought an 06 F250 with 80000 miles and a manual transmission and when I'm in first driving under 10 mph the truck jerks real bad. I don't know if it's coming out of gear or what. I hear the rear end engage each time. It reminds me like if I were to pop the clutch in and out with out hitting the gas.

 

Gear and speed?

 

I just didn't expect to have to feather the clutch at 8 to 10 mph I can see below 5 but it may be. I don't know.

I hear the rear end engage each time. It reminds me like if I were to pop the clutch in and out with out hitting the gas. I just didn't expect to have to work the clutch at 8 to 10 mph I can see it from 5 down. But I don't know that's why I'm here.

What engine is in it?,,,How does the engine pull otherwise ? Could there possibly be a skip,,or miss,,bad COP,,or plugs?

 

1st is really a granny gear to get you going with a load. What happens in 2nd gear?

 

What engine?

 

This started out as two threads, I merged them.

 

It only happens in 1st gear. I don't know how it pulls with a load because I've only had it a few days. The problem occurs after a restart from a stop and attempt to drive in 1st gear like in a parking lot and I'm going under 10 mph but not slow enough where I think I need to ride the clutch.

 

The engine is the 5.4 v8
