problem: when i go for a drive i let go of the gas pedal to make a turn (actually whenever i let go of the gas pedal) but whenever i do this the car jerks like someone is rocking the car. sort of like engine braking but wayy worse. This happens when i travel at ALL speeds.

can some one tell me the problem with the car.

btw it is a 5 speed manual transmission.

is it the driveshaft? catalytic converter?

thanks!

Does it clunk from the rear or under you when you first let out the clutch to start off???

Sounds like a bad U joint to me for some reason.
