Why does my 2006 Pontiac Montana feel like it kicks at 20-40 mph? - insert more words for faster question answering-

sounds like a bad motor or transmission mount try to step on the gas hard and release it quickly while in park do you feel the same thing if you do a motor mount is no good you'll see the engine twisting or raising up on one side the reason why I think its happening at slow speed is the transmission shifts gears and this lets the motor settle back down if not try with no body behind you quick acceleration then wait 5 seconds and hard stop when the car is stopped and you feel a bang from underneath the transmission mount is no good

My CRV is jiggling left to right in the front end upon acceleration. What part of the suspension might need to be repaired?

If you can feel it only on acceleration between 15-50mph and it goes away the second you let go of the gas padel at any speed. It might be one of your front axles. I don't know which one, you'll just have to guess on that and hope the first guess is right.
good luck

I have a 1998 explorer with 4.0 sohc vin E it shifts fine if you accelerate gradually but when u press down hard on gas like in a get the hell out of the way in traffic situation it feels to be slipping...

if your are expeirencing tranny slippage your tranny is on its way out...its only a matter of time before it goes... you can ride it out until it goes or u can either replace it with one from ten junkyard or get it rebuild.

Clutch issue? 89 toyota PU 4x4 V6 150,000 miles

Yep, you got it. Assuming spring tension on pressure plate feels normal (you should know with 150k mi) then the clutch disk is worn. Time for replacement.

Rough idle, Car shakes, sputters and misfires upon acceleration

It sounds like you may have a problem feeding the fuel to your engine, I had the same problem with my 89 RS. All the 1989 model's fuel systems were recalled. I think you may need a new fuel pump. The fuel pump is located inside the gas tank in the rear of the car right under the rear axle. The fuel pump itself isn't too expensive, but with other small parts such as the electrical harness upgrade and fuel filter and the labor you should be looking somewhere in the $500 range. I hope this helps.

Sometimes (not all the time and only recently) upon acceleration (from dead stop and/or from any speed but give enuf gas for it to kick down into overdrive), car jerks and acts like it doesn't want to go...

There is some loose conduct in the connection from the engine delta coil side which is connected to spark plug.Tat part is having some loose connection which makes the car to **** and stop when you accelerate.
