Engine revving up when shifting gears and jerking hard

Started hearing a knocking noise in gear shaft area awhile back. then it started shifting into reverse very hard, and then revving up when shifting into 1st and 2nd gears. now it revs up on interstate or whenever sometimes feels like it is about to stall out. also sounds like tins cans rattling from under car

Really !!!

You have no idea after all those issues that the
transmission is completely worn out?

If it had any chance of repair, you rode it to it's
grave knowing you could hear & feel things

SOURCE: VW Golf 3 jumping out of gears

Sounds like a stripped reverse gear. And for the second gear probally need a new gear (1st 2nd) and the syncros with a new hub. If too much metal from the gears has already made it's way around in the bearings through the transmission oil you might be looking at a new transmission. The Golf 3 generation had many problems with reverse gears. Sorry to be the one to tell you.

Knocking nosie from left side of 06 saturn ion? hear it all the time but mainly after 2nd gear when it shifts is the worst part?

Have your motor supports checked. Also the drive shaft could be causing the problem if that knocking is not coming from inside the motor.

Tranny slipping?

Dose it make a normal sound when you start the engine, then more then likely fly wheel ok, anf it's going to be the transmission, if not normal it's the fly wheel.

Car jerks with loud knock when shifting from park to drive

Ok the knock is your flex discs on the drive shaft are bad along with the carrier bearing. Replace before you get stranded or it comes loose.
Fuel distributor may need work if it is hard to start when warm, Replace OVP relay by battery also, its always an issue.

2001 Volvo S60 2.4T starting problem

This car won't start unless the gear is in the P position. Some times the sensor that tells the computer that the gear is in the P position doesn't make a good contact and the car won't start. Move the gear backwards and forwards until it makes a good contact and the car will start again.

Knocking noise on 53 plate focus

firstly i would take it back to the garage i got it repaired at. but does the knocking get worse the faster you get or is it only on turning on full lock? if its when turning could be a faulty CV joint, could be that the driveshaft is not located back in the gearbox correctly, i would take it back to the garage

1994 Ford Escort Transaxle Noise

I guess you know no matter what the noise is the transmission will have to come out and be overhauled, one question, have you checked the CV joints on the axle shafts?
