Default Did I break my CDV?

Recently, I noticed the car jerks a little after each gear transition, especially in 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd. It's different than when I first got it. Does this sound like the CDV is gone?

Check your tire pressure. Seriously.

They're at 32 psi as recommended.

Your alignment may be off then. But normally...that type of behavior is one of the first signs that you have a rear tire that is a couple psi lower than the other.

Can you break a cdv?

Maybe time for a clutch fluid flush? That helped me when my car started jerking more during shifting.

From removing a dozen CDV's, I can't see any way it could break.

What do you mean that the car "jerks." That's not very descriptive.
