What Causes a Strong Jerking Sensation When Shifting Gears?
1 Answers
The reason for a strong jerking sensation when shifting gears is that the vehicle's transmission lubricating oil needs to be replaced as it has reached its service interval. The replacement cycle for transmission lubricating oil is approximately 50,000 km or three years of use. Below are the three main functions of a transmission: 1. Changing the gear ratio: To meet the varying traction demands under different driving conditions, ensuring the engine operates within its optimal range while fulfilling the required driving speeds. It allows for significant changes in the vehicle's speed and the torque delivered to the driving wheels. 2. Enabling reverse driving: To accommodate the need for the vehicle to move backward. Since the engine crankshaft generally rotates in only one direction, the transmission's reverse gear is utilized to allow the vehicle to reverse. 3. Interrupting power transmission: To halt the transfer of power to the driving wheels during engine startup, idle operation, gear shifting, or when the vehicle needs to stop while still outputting power.
