Is It Normal for the BMW X1 to Have Strong Gear Shift Jerks?
1 Answers
Strong gear shift jerks in the BMW X1 are not normal. While slight jerks are acceptable, intense jerking is abnormal. Here are methods to eliminate gear shift jerks in the BMW X1: 1. Adjust based on road conditions and load: When driving uphill, the vehicle's resistance increases, requiring higher RPM for gear shifts. Similarly, under heavy load, shifting at higher engine RPM prevents gear dragging. Conversely, when accelerating downhill, skip-shifting can be employed. Adjustments should be made according to specific driving conditions. 2. Modify the gear shift sequence: The standard shift sequence is progressive, i.e., 1-2-3-4-5. However, skip-shifting can also avoid jerking in certain situations, such as shifting directly from 2nd to 4th gear at 2000 rpm or from 3rd to 5th gear.
