Car starts bad, sometime smokes white not huge. small black smoke every acceleration. transmission jerking during up and down shift from 1-2-3 and 3-2-1. what can be the reason of problem.

The white smoke is a bit worrisome - usually an indicator of a blown headgasket, which will also cause rough running, especially at low speeds from a compression imbalance. The throttle position sensor may also be sending "off" signals to engine management, resulting in a bit of a rich mix, and harsher shifting.
To avoid any unnecessary repairs, I would recommend having a certified technician, like one from YourMechanic, diagnose your shaking/vibrating condition to confirm there is a problem, get an accurate assessment of damage and cost estimate for repairs. YourMechanic can dispatch a mobile, professional mechanic to your location for this repair.
