    I have an '08 justa that will do like a little lurch forward seconds after shifting into 2nd gear after clutch is released and I'm accelerating, it's almost like I popped the clutch but I'm not. This only happens in 2nd gear and it only seems to happen when the car has been sitting for ~13 hrs and it doesn't happen every time. I'd say it's about 1:4 times, and almost as soon as it does it it will pop up check engine light, but after 2restarts of the car the light goes out.
    She has 151k miles on her; new clutch, belt, head gasket, alternator, and brakes at 113k.
    New plugs, coils, updated programming, and another alternator at ~140k.
    Any ideas what could be causing this? I haven't been able to get it scanned for a code yet.
    Thanks

    How long has it been doing this. My 1st thought would be something within the clutch area..
