Jerky movements in first gear!

I put this on the motoring forum but. O one ever answers on there!
Car got new cam belt tues and since then when I'm in first gear the car goes really slowly then suddenly shoots forward, also happens in second gear but not as bad.

I took back to the garage but they said all is fine.
Took to another garage and they said the engine is quite loose and he was pushing on it and it was moving.
He said the engine might not have been put back properly and could b pressing on a wire or cable.
He can't look at it till Tuesday so does anyone have an idea of what it could be??

Dunno what help we'll be on here either. Unless it's about your OH having an affair. You could try consumer rights

i know you already have your answer, but just had to say your problem sounds incredibly like our car when my learner driver daughter is driving .....

Haha I've been driving for 9 years so isn't my dodgy driving!
Sounds like they didn't put the engine back in properly on to the engine mounts which causes jerky gears and loose exhaust
