Does an automatic transmission car shake when shifting into reverse?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission cars may experience some shaking when shifting gears because the clutch differential is already engaged, and the engine is generating torque, so slight shaking is normal. However, if the shaking is severe, it could be due to the following reasons: 1. Low idle speed. 2. Dirty throttle body. 3. Dirty fuel injectors. 4. Severe engine carbon buildup. 5. Poor spark plug performance. Automatic transmission cars typically use a hydraulic transmission device to replace the mechanical clutch of manual transmission cars, so there is no clutch pedal. When the engine speed is low, the torque transmitted by the fluid is limited and insufficient to propel the car forward. When the gear lever is placed in the drive position and the brake pedal is released, as the accelerator is pressed and the engine speed increases, the transmitted torque increases, pushing the car forward.
