How to Deal with Jerking Sensation When Starting the Changan Eado?

Start the car in P gear The dual-clutch transmission oil has high viscosity. If starting in N gear, the clutch will receive higher drag torque, causing the vehicle to move slowly. No need to warm up the car After the engine starts, you can shift into gear and drive without warming up the car. If the road is clear, you can accelerate immediately to allow the transmission to shift into higher gears more quickly. Fast upshifts, slow downshifts The dual-clutch transmission shifts up quickly but shifts down slowly. When driving this type of vehicle, acceleration and deceleration must be very clear to give the transmission clear signals for shifting up or down.
My family's Changan Eado has been in use for almost two years. Last year, I often felt jerky movements during startup, especially when shifting gears. After checking on the forum, many owners reported that it could be due to aging automatic transmission fluid or faulty spark plugs. I immediately took it to the 4S shop for inspection, and the mechanic said dirty fluid was affecting the smoothness of gear shifts. After replacing the fluid, it became much smoother. I suggest you also keep an eye on maintenance records—don't delay fluid changes when they're due, and replace spark plugs every 20,000 kilometers or so to avoid ignition delays. When driving, try to avoid sudden acceleration and half-clutch operations to reduce component wear. Developing good habits can also save you money on repairs.
