How to Solve ATS Transmission Shaking?
2 Answers
Owners must always use genuine transmission oil during regular oil changes and adhere to the recommended oil change intervals. Clean engine carbon deposits, throttle body, replace oil pads and spark plugs, etc. If the vehicle shakes at idle, check whether there is an issue with the automatic transmission oil circuit or electronic control system.
I recently encountered the ATS transmission shudder issue as well, and the troubleshooting process requires a step-by-step approach. First, check the transmission fluid – if it's too dirty or insufficient, it can cause shuddering. When changing the oil, make sure to use the OEM-specified type. Then observe when the shudder occurs – if it happens during startup or low-speed gear shifts, it's likely an issue with the torque converter or solenoid valves. I recommend performing a transmission adaptive learning procedure, as sometimes reprogramming can resolve the problem. If that doesn't work, you'll need to disassemble and inspect whether the clutch plates are worn – this job should be done by a reputable repair shop. Don't delay too long, as driving with persistent shudder can damage the driveshaft and half-shafts, leading to more complicated repairs. For regular maintenance, pay attention to the fluid change intervals and don't wait until problems arise to address them.
