What Causes a Strong Jerking Sensation When Shifting into Reverse Gear?

[MacViolet]

Here are the specific reasons why a car may experience a strong jerking sensation when shifting into reverse gear: 1. Engine oil passage blockage: The combustion of fuel is determined by the engine's ignition, intake, and fuel injectors, which are also the source of the engine's power. If the intake volume decreases, the ignition weakens, or the fuel injection reduces, the power output will be insufficient, leading to a jerking sensation. 2. Dirty transmission fluid: This can cause damage to the solenoid valves. If sludge in the transmission fluid circulates and blocks the oil passages in the valve body, it will result in jerking issues. Over time, this can lead to a series of transmission problems such as overheating, impact, and slippage. 3. Break-in period: A slight jerking sensation during driving is normal during the break-in period because the vehicle's power output and component engagement are not at their optimal levels. Additionally, the transmission's computer has a self-learning mechanism that continuously adjusts oil pressure for gear shifting.
