Does an Automatic Transmission Car Shake When Shifting to Reverse?
1 Answers
An automatic transmission car shaking when shifting to reverse gear may be due to insufficient or dirty transmission fluid. Here are the details about automatic transmission gear positions: 1. P (Park) Position: This is the parking and starting position. When engaged, the parking lock mechanism locks the transmission output shaft. 2. R (Reverse) Position: This is the reverse gear. Engaging this position connects the hydraulic system's reverse gear circuit, causing the drive wheels to rotate in reverse for backward movement. Never force the gearshift into "R" position when the vehicle isn't completely stopped, as this may damage the transmission. 3. N (Neutral) Position: This is the neutral gear. When engaged, the planetary gear system idles without power output. 4. D (Drive) Position: This is the forward drive position. When the gear selector is in this position, the hydraulic control unit automatically engages appropriate forward gears based on throttle opening and vehicle speed signals, enabling automatic shifting according to driving speed for automatic transmission functionality. 5. S (Sport) Position: This is sport mode. When selected, the transmission control module receives the driver's command, putting the vehicle into sport mode with more aggressive shift logic, frequent gear changes, enhanced throttle response, and improved driving dynamics for greater driving pleasure.
