I have a 1995 Camaro with a V-6 and a manual transmission. When I put the car into 1st gear or switch into 2nd gear and I hit the accelerator after letting out the clutch, the car tends to want to buck or jump instead of smoothly accelerationg. It acts like something is loose. I'm wondering if it's the transmission itself or possibly some joint between the transmission and the rear axle. Does anyone know of any common Camaro problems of the 93-96 models that might be the cause?

I know how to drive/shift a manual transmission. This is the fourth manual transmission vehicle I've had so I know how to shift different ones. I even know how to shift manuals with a high and low switch for each gear. A manual transmission is pretty much all I have ever driven.
This happens after I have fully released the clutch. It also will tend to do it if say I'm driving 2-3 mile an hour and I just give it some gas kinda quick and let off the accelerator a bit. I'll tend to notice it when I hit the gas and when I let off the gas.
It acts like there is slop or something is loose.

Sounds like a bad motor mount.

my first guess would be in line with shifting and not applying enough gas with a smooth release of the clutch...on a side note check your universal joints on the drive shaft.

It's probably the clutch pads and/or the pressure plate, most likely it's the clutch pads which are worn. Have your clutch pads and pressure plate checked by a certified mechanic.

Sounds like your clutch plate is worn out, and when it engages the flywheel you may be encountering a metal to metal situation. If this is what it is you should have it corrected immediately, or you'll need to have your flywheel resurfaced.
