Kinda jumps when I start to drive or out in gear
Ummm, can you elaborate a little more??
Welcomeā¦
My crystal ball says you have broken engine/trans mount(s)ā¦?..

Clean inside of throttlebore. And backside of butterfly.
We would need a little more info to give you better answers.
but if the engine revs after you put it in gear and then jumps, then I would say you are low on tranny fluid from a leak, or the transmission has problems.
@Aztekwoman, welcome. It looks like you maybe thought you were entering into a search box and looking for search results. But on the other end here, itās just a bunch of folks who like talking about cars and helping people with car issues.
So think of it that way and lay it all out like youāre explaining it someone else (but to āsomeonesā who canāt actually look at or drive the car).
For best help here, suggest to include the engine & trans configuration, and the mileage. Are you saying this ājumpā sensation happens when you shift from P into D? Or is is when you are already in D, but stopped, like at a stop sign, then when you let off the brake and press on the gas you sense a ājumpā? What do you mean by āout in gearā? Do you mean you also sense a jump sometimes when youāve been already driving at 35 mph for some time? If so, does the jump correspond to a gear shift? Do you hear any unusual sound at the same times as
the jump, like youād hear driving over a rumble strip?
3.4L V6 with a 4T65E automatic transmission, only optionā¦
But AWD is an option and mileage would be helpful as you pointed outā¦

Those 4T65Es were tricky as far as I can tell. Iāve got no claim to any transmission expertise. But I had one once ('00 Olds Silhouette van). The trans had issues, even after GM put a rebuild in it under warranty (owner previous to me). My searching for solutions told me that theyāre great when they work. But that no one knew what to do with them when they didnāt - other than to just order a rebuild. (Mine was the very common P1811. All my very experienced local trans shop would say is that theyād install another rebuild, but I didnāt see the point in that. I did find a work-around, which was basically a hack - part of a shift kit - but it worked. The van went to scrap when it blew a head gasket).
Anyway, that contributes nothing to help the OPā¦Iād imagine. And I second the WAG of mounts.
A lot of the problem(s) as with a lot of transmissions (not all) is in the valve body, a lot of shops just put them back stockā¦ Always need to do the VB upgrades/fixesā¦ Also there are upgraded 1-2 & 2-3 & 4th Accumulator Pistons as well as the Actuator Feed Limit Valve repair/replacementā¦
Here is 1 of 4 fixās of the causes for the 1997 and up 4T65E failure, on top of the normal repairs neededā¦

Youād know better than I.
In my case the āpart of a shift kitā hack I referenced was just installing those new/upgraded accumulator springs from that transgo kit. The springs could be done easily with just a pan drop. No valve body work and certainly no total rebuild. (So the rest of the transgo kit went unused). Just the upgraded springs totally workedā¦for as long as I needed them to.

Yeah it amazes me as to how many transmission builders and shops do not use the TransGo VB kits etc, it will fix a lot of the issues before they become issues, everybody just wants to slap a overhaul kit and what ever hard part was damaged due to flow issues in the transmission and ship it, very few want to fix the real issue to start withā¦ I was taught to find the root cause and fix it, not just slap it back together with common new parts and hope for the bestā¦
The OP hasnāt returned after 2 days to clarify her somewhat cryptic āexplanationā of her carās behavior. While it is tempting to go on about possible transmission problems, we donāt really have a good understanding of her car problem, and her situation might not be at all transmission related. Unless she returns with a more detailed explanation, I think that further responses are not necessarily going to help her.

I agree, cigroller and I were just talking about the 4T65E transmission in general, not the OPās, (cause you know this is probably another one and done post) after I let George know what the eng/tran options were or lack there ofā¦ lol
I am still going with my 1st post of the crystal ball guess until, if ever, the OP gives more detailed infoā¦ 
My equinox w/3.4 has an Aisin af-33. Made by toyo subsidiary. Always been a good trans. So not every 3.4 has 4t60
Aisin Corporation (ę Ŗå¼ä¼ē¤¾ć¢ć¤ć·ć³, Kabushiki gaishaAishin) is a Japanese corporation that develops and produces components and systems for the automotive industry. Aisin is a Fortune Global 500 company, ranked 359 on the 2020 rankings.[5] Aisin is a member of the Toyota Group of companies.
I believe some Vues had the Honda V6 . . .
If threads around here donāt go off on tangents, thatās when Iām surprised.
