I've got a 96GT, and ever since I bought it, it's been very unsmooth and jerky when I let off the throttle and coast in gear. It feels almost like i'm in the wrong gear and its about to start bucking worse but it never does.

Another problem i'm having is the car taking a bit to start up when it's been sitting for a while. Sometimes it will happen at random times, but it seems to happen more often on a cold start. Although lots of cold starts are perfectly fine and it starts right up like a brand new car.

Any suggestions?
