Hi guys, i have a VE SS Manual commodore. The problem im having is when im driving slowly around car parks or slow zones i notice that the car is really jerky and the car shakes abit. Has anyone had problems like this? Ive been told it could be the oxy sensors, fuel filter or possibly clutch?
It doesnt read anything on the scan tool and mechanics seem stuck with what it could be.
Thanks in advance.

thanks guys,
Its a VE SS manual sedan. Has exhaust, otr and tune (however this problem has been around from before the tune and otr but about 2 months after the exhaust was put on) Stock cam.
It is quite noticeable compared to how it was and just changed all of a sudden 1 day.

Whos tune?
if its o'2's the warning might be turned down or off maybe ask the tuner. You did say after the exhaust, but it could be an O2 issue. Some tuner also turn them off. So your tuner could help answer this or tell you what else it might be.

I've heard of a few cars doing this and yes, it's all in the tune.
I know you said it did it before the curent tune, but that doesn't mean that it's not tune related. I'll take a stab at the symptoms as follows...
Light throttle
RPM between 1200 and 1700
Car surges a bit, like getting on and off the throttle and may vary in intensity.
the surge frequency is arround two per second.
Does any of this sound right?
