Default changing from gear 1 to gear 2 car starts jerking

It's happened a few times lately, when I'm in traffic and look to drive out I change from 1st gear to second gear and the car shakes like crazy then it becomes normal again.

I thought it was because I was low on petrol at first but it wasn't


Can someone plz help


thanks

At risk of appearing unhelpful there is quite a lot of info about this in the FAQ which is well worth working your way through to solve this.

I wonder if it's MAP sensor related but there's other things to check.
