It is not normal to feel a strong jerk when shifting from P to R in an automatic transmission. Here is some knowledge about gear shift jerking: 1. Introduction: Gear shift jerking refers to the feeling of the car moving forward in a jerky or stuttering manner when shifting gears, usually occurring during starting, accelerating, or decelerating. 2. Cause: When shifting gears and releasing the clutch, if the engine speed does not match the current vehicle speed—meaning there is a speed difference between the engine speed and the clutch disc speed (in most cases, the engine speed is lower than the clutch disc speed)—then jerking will occur.
