BMW driver question
When starting and shifting more gears, the accelerator pedal locks up slightly. You have to push it harder to make the car go, which involves constant jerking. When I increase the revs, regardless of the gear, the car jerks. It throws it back and forth, very hard, as if it is about to die. What could be the cause?

BMW driver question
When changing gears (the worst is from 1 to 2 a little better from 2 to 3) there is a strange noise from the chassis as if the rear part (maybe the shaft support) and unfortunately jerks. As I try to change gears very gently, I almost succeed, there is no way to change quickly. Higher gears from 3rd to 4th and 5th shift just OK. Reducing from higher to lower does not happen smoothly either. Please give me a hint.

When the suction is turned off, the engine at idle runs erratically – wavers. I do not know how to deal with this problem. The valves have been adjusted, I replaced the lambda probe, spark plugs and ignition cables. I have cleaned the dome of the ignition apparatus, stepper motor and purged the air flow meter with air. Please advise.
