After i my mechanic replaced the catalytic converter for $1500.00, this problem began. The vehicle began to buck (jerk violently) as i was accelerating to 45 mph. It always happens at about 20 mph as i try to accelerate to 30, 35 or 40 mph. The engine revs up to 3 of 4k before the transmissions engages forcefully. This has been going on for now 3 months. *tr
