Default Jerky Start from stop on an S80 T6??

Hello Everyone. I am a new owner of an '01 S80 T6. This is my second Volvo. I used to have an 850T. The car runs like a champ at speed, but when starting from 0, it jerks a little before accelerating nicely. The transmission fluid is full and bright pink. No other shifting problems except getting going from a stop. I did notice the top motor mount that connects to the anti-sway bar is broken. I read that someone else was mentioning motor mounts, so I am wondering if this is all it is. Any thoughts? Thanks!

I'm noticing a bit of a "micro-jerk" when accelerating from zero. You might try switching the lower and upper mounts. IPD has both. It's on of those things on my list of things to do.

Its not an anti sway bar, but yes this is the rubber you need to replace. $15-$20 all in if you DIY it. FCP have the parts. Its called a torque mount. Do it soon before you rip the a$$ out of the other mounts!

Thanks for the advice. I will get a new one and let everyone know if that fixes it.
