What Causes a Noticeable Jerk When Shifting from P to R Gear?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission experiencing jerking when shifting from P to R gear can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Solenoid valve damage: Damaged solenoid valves are a significant cause of jerking. A simple distinction is that occasional occurrences are irregular, while fixed occurrences happen at a specific speed or when shifting to a particular gear (e.g., from 2nd to 3rd gear), resulting in consistent jerking. 2. Transmission blockage: If sludge in the transmission's internal circulation blocks the oil passages in the valve body, it can lead to stumbling issues, causing a series of transmission problems such as overheating, impact, and slippage, resulting in jerking during gear shifts.
