Hi there!
I have a question, what I'm not sure about..
My 2002 (facelift already, but 2002/12 - pre-DVD model) is giving a "kick" on the front when I'm accelerating harder and release the gas pedal fast. It sounds and feels like I'm going into a road bump with the first tires only. This happens at slower speeds and faster speeds.
What could be the cause for this problem?
A merz service guy told me I need to repair or replace the transmission.. But that shifts smoothly, never had any problems or safe mode or anything while shifting. Not a noise or anything.
And the problem comes without the transmission shifting, so why would it be the tranny? It comes when I release the gas pedal from a heavier acceleration.
If I release the pedal slowly, there is no kicking or no sound..

Any guesses? Any of you had the same problem before?
Thanks for your help!

 

It sounds like motor mounts or tranny mounts to me
