Car jumps forwards

[bertb1]

Hello all
Hope everyone is ok and staying safe
I bought my car around 2 years ago and when I started the car from cold and put it in drive the car would jump/ pull forward slightly but when the car warmed up this would go away

I’ve just gone on a short drive ( 20mins ) and I notice when parking up the it still doing it .

I tried it about 5 times and it did it on every try

My question is , is this a problem on its way ?

It had a gearbox service around 1 year ago

Any advice would be greatly appreciate
Thanks

Probably a silly suggestion but are you applying your brake fully? My mum has a similar problem when she got her new car and she just had to be heavier on the pedal... perhaps the brake needs looking into... just a thought

Hello thanks for your reply

Maybe I described it wrong
It’s more of the car pulls forward
It doesn’t move because I have my foot on the brake but it feels like it’s really trying to

Either engine/gearbox mounts, or your torque converter is dragging.

Either are pretty easy to confirm with the correct diagnostics

Thanks
Is either of these an expensive job ?

Torque converter can be, depending on what component has failed (lockup solenoid or converter itself) engine/gearbox mounts are not massive money, 250/350 ish all in.

Thanks
The car drives great
Wouldn’t a bad converter cause more than just this problem?

Yes, quite possibly, but we can only glean so much information from one post

Hello all
Got in the car this morning and still the same and even after the car warmed up
So I was sat in the car going back and forth and I put the car in neutral and left my foot off the brake and put the car in drive.

To my surprise the car just moved off normally, I did this a good few times and no problems

I then put my foot on the brake and put the car in drive and no problems at all , not sure what happened but the problem seems to have gone

I’ve just be out to the car to put on the drive after around 3 hrs and still great

Anybody any idea what’s happened?
Thanks

Whatever you did with the brake pedal
