Jerky when cold?

Just noticed this morning that gear changes are a bit jerky. It's only a short trip to work, but changing to second was the biggest jerk/jolt and into third a bit as well. Is this normal for driving around cold? I know my 206 was like this a bit as well but it was a common known problem...

Hadn't noticed it before when I was doing a lot of driving.

need to let it run a few minutes before leaving i think its the same with all of them it will start to get more noticeable as the weather gets colder

It's annoying 'cos passengers must think I can't drive my own car too well. It's the way it's mapped to meet emissions and stuff that causes it.

Mine's the same, propa bunnyhops up the road when I first drive it in the morning ... but now I've got me Yozza exhaust on it does like to pop well when it's cold so it isn't all bad :D not sure the neighbours think the same tho :rasp:

Yep bloody annoying this and even more so now it's getting colder. If I know I am doing a short trip where the car won't get a chance to warm through then I start the car up and leave it to idle for about 5mins before setting off

An extra layer of clothes should help eliminate shivering

This only seems to happen when i leave work. It's fine starting in the morning or evening. Really weird.
