CVT transmissions experiencing jerks is a normal phenomenon. Below are specific explanations for the causes of transmission jerks: 1. Upshift jerk: The main reason is that the transmission's response speed is not fast enough, and the upshift speed cannot keep up with the throttle input speed, so the jerk occurs at the moment the transmission shifts. 2. Downshift jerk: This is mostly due to the intervention of the energy recovery system. Once the driver releases the throttle pedal or presses the brake pedal, the generator immediately starts working, which burdens the engine, affecting its speed and causing a mismatch between the engine speed and the clutch plate speed, resulting in a jerking sensation.

What are the symptoms before a car engine seizes?

Symptoms before a car engine seizes: 1. Reduced cylinder compression pressure leading to loss of power; 2. Downward leakage of combustible mixture increases crankcase pressure, which may cause crankcase explosion in severe cases; 3. Lubricating oil moving up into the cylinder causing oil burning; 4. Severe smoke emission from the exhaust pipe; 5. Abnormal engine noise; 6. Engine malfunction or even stalling. Engine seizure refers to the melting and scoring of the piston, piston rings, and cylinder liner surfaces due to high temperatures, where dry friction occurs between the piston and cylinder liner due to interrupted oil film, causing microscopic melting of metal and adhesion, tearing nearby metal particles.
