Reasons for Severe Gear Shifting Jerks in Ford Edge Transmission
1 Answers
Here are the reasons for transmission jerks: 1. Clogging by dirt and impurities: Stubborn dirt and impurities accumulate inside, especially within the valve body, forming blockages that prevent effective oil pressure regulation, leading to jerking, impact, and slippage issues. 2. Transmission overheating: High temperatures degrade the quality and frictional properties of automatic transmission fluid, increasing friction wear and transmission noise. It also generates internal impurities or sludge, causing transmission jerks and impacts. If temperatures exceed 120°C, rubber sealing materials begin to harden, crack, and eventually leak, reducing hydraulic pressure. 3. Transmission slippage: When the transmission starts slipping, it raises temperatures, resulting in jerks. If not addressed promptly, the transmission may become irreparable.
