Is Gear Shift Jerkiness Normal for Automatic Transmissions?

[DiMiranda]

Gear shift jerkiness in automatic transmissions is not normal. The causes of gear shift jerkiness in automatic transmissions are: 1. Transmission clutch pressure leakage; 2. Blockage or poor flow in the transmission oil circuit; 3. Insufficient transmission fluid level; 4. Damaged solenoid valve. An automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The correct usage methods for automatic transmissions are: 1. Start the vehicle in P or N gear, shift out of P gear by pressing the brake pedal, turn on the power while pressing the brake, shift to N gear, and after ignition, shift to D gear to move forward directly; 2. When switching between N, D, and L gears, there is no need to press the shift button. When shifting from L gear to lower restricted gears, press the shift button, but shifting from lower to higher gears does not require pressing the shift button; 3. Do not shift into N gear while driving to coast; 4. Do not push into P gear while driving; 5. After driving, the engine must be turned off and shifted into P gear before the key can be removed.
