The jerking is from the internal clutch mechanism inside the transmission. It is normal espesially when the truck is being broken in, and when run at just off idle speed. Its the efect of the centifically opperated clutch not making quite enough rpm's to fully engage At very low throttle. During break-in throttle input is supposed to be slow and controlled, wereas running the truck in full on bash mode usually consist of more snappier throttle inputs and the clutch reaching rpm quicker
