hard jump at start of acceleration in either direction

Looked at a Nissan that jumps forward or reverse at the beginning of travel. Operator complaining of whiplash. Accel pot doesn't kick in until pedal/pot is almost halfway around, then jumps in direction. Not a common truck for me to work on. Any ideas?

could be as simple as the pot flaking out to bad motor brushes. If you know how to go through the dash on one of these you can "see" if the accel pot is flaking.
