My car is very jerky on acceleration and deceleration in a super-sensitive way that I can't smooth out. It's not so much a clutch-engagement issue (as far as I can tell) as it is a throttle issue. When I let off the accelerator in gear, the driveline is noticeable thumpy and jerky. When I accelerate in gear it jerks again. It's far more pronounced in lower gears/revs, especially in stop and go traffic. Car has a new clutch, and the gearbox oil had been replaced. Is this likely to be a problem with the universal joints in the driveshaft?
UPDATE: A new MAF sensor made a world of difference.

You mentioned a thump noise.
It could be a great many things.... CV's, bushes, worn or loose suspension components, mounting points, uni's .
Do you think the jerky feel is a result of engine performance/tuning or some point of the drive train failing?
Also where does the thumping noise come from front or rear or mid?
Is it like a shudder when the clutch is released or definite "THUMP" ?

Not so much a thump, no noise, more just a slight unavoidable shudder. Initially though it was a sketchy clutch/flywheel, although is also happens before and after the clutch is released. Possibly misfiring/coil issues, but only at low revs under 2k rpm (or perhaps just slower speeds).

The best way around this is to stab the clutch as you are gassing it up...Enjoy the AWD Launch

Try tightening up the exhaust gas contol actuator on the secondary turbo.
