I don’t know if this is the best place to put this question, but I have a 2010 Chevy Equinox LT. Recently I have developed issues where I was sputtering and jerking back-and-forth in reverse only. Once I got into drive, I didn’t have many issues until I hit 25-30 then my RPM’s would go high but my speed would not increase and it would sputter and jerk again. Since then, I’ve had the issue come and go on the driving part. Sometimes I can drive with no issues at all outside of the reversing. I can’t determine what it is. Any thoughts? Thanks for reading.

I'll give you three ideas of what I think it could be.
The first one is a dirty filter that is causing the transmission pump to run dry and that is where the random slipping/reving is coming from.
The second one is going to be you have a bad solenoid or the valve body needs to be completely flushed. Usually when you have a dirty filter the valve body needs to be pulled apart and sprayed down thoroughly with brake cleaner.
The third one and the more expensive deal because the entire transmission has to be removed is the torque converter. Bad torque converters when they start to go are known for intermittent slipping and jerking. But also the same symptoms with a dirty filter or the transmission oil pump not pulling enough transmission fluid will also cause the torque converter to act up because it's running dry.
