you lose your limb, i'll take your arm now. joking....
any modifications done?
what fuel are you running? caltex premium, try give BP ultimate for one tank and see if it makes a difference.
what oil are you using?
possibility of transmission fluid needs a change also, over 115k mileage should change transsie fluid as aaron has said.
each can play a part of jerkyness.
Might not be the TPS unless they measured the voltage and got actual problems inducing the jerkiness. It could have been that the old TB was gummed with dirt and the new TB was clean and smooth.
Hey mate,
I had the same problem @ 60,000kms. I have had to replace the accel cable motor, and picked up some Acura Tsx throttle bodies off US Ebay. A fault code was registering, and Honda advised what I needed to do. Hope this helps.

Using caltex premium , 95 RON.....will give BP premium next time I fill up
Oil changed 6months/7000kms ago using Mobil 1 supersync 0w -40
Will replace with Honda ATF this weekend ...will post result..thanks
Finally got round to replacing the ATF this weekend as using highest rated fuel didn't help......couldn't get the tranny drain bold off using brute force but tap tap tap with a rubber mallet as Aarong suggested, and off it came. Dead easy to replace the ATF and low and behold no more jerkiness any longer on the test runs I did. I hope thats it!....decided to change the engine oil the next day so the car is now running ever so smoothly....thanks guys for your help!
Good to hear you have fixed your problem. I always recommend autobox owners to change ATF every 2 years with proper Honda ATF. The service manual's 5 year is too long!
My car is booked in for its 30k service this week. If I was to give the service department a call to have the AT fluid changed during the service what would be a reasonable cost for getting that done?
Also, am I better off having the service dept do a wheel alignment for me or take it to a bob jane etc?
