Jerks when accelerating

Nissan Terrano 2006  178000 miles
My vehicle is a Terrano 4x2 turbo diesel and, when driving at third or fifth gear, at the moment of reaching 2500 rpm, the van jerks weirdly and the gearbox and lever move considerably. I've replaced all the filters, checked the tank and cleaned the injectors, but nothing happened. Might it be the gearbox?

Hi, the jerks in Terrano vans tend to be caused by a failure in the neutral position sensor. It is located on the upper part of the gearbox and you can easily find it by removing the gear shift cover. You disconnect it and your problem will be solved. You can as well replace it. Good luck.

After changing maf an all other sensors on engine checking turbo, i read your comment and diconeted neutral position sensor car drives perfectly. Talking about nissan terrano 3.0 113kw 2002 r20 zd20engine. One more on diagnostic was error on boost sensor but after disconnecting neutral position error was gone.
