Possible reasons for the automatic transmission jerking at low speeds:

Transmission fluid slippage:

*Low fluid level
* Contaminated or old fluid
* Worn or damaged clutches

Torque converter damage:

* Wear of sliding couplings
* Clogged filter

Problems with sensors:

* Faulty input shaft speed sensor
* Faulty fluid temperature sensor
*Faulty throttle position sensor

Damage to the electronic control unit (ECU):

* Malfunctions in electrical wiring
* Software problems

Other possible reasons:

* Worn spark plugs or ignition coils
* Clogged fuel filter
* Dirty injectors
* Faulty mass air flow sensor

Diagnostics:

* Check the level and condition of the transmission fluid.
* Scan the trouble code using a diagnostic scanner.
* Conduct a transmission slip test.
* Check the operation of the torque converter.
* Check sensors and ECU.

Repair:

* Replace transmission fluid and filter.
* Repair or replace the torque converter.
* Replace faulty sensors.
* Repair or replace the ECU.
* Fix any other problems found.
