What Causes a Strong Jerking Sensation When Shifting into Reverse Gear in an Automatic Transmission?

Automatic transmission shifting into reverse gear with a strong jerking sensation is caused by: 1. Transmission issues; 2. Clutch friction plate slippage; 3. Solenoid valve damage. Precautions for shifting gears in an automatic transmission car are: 1. Do not press the accelerator pedal when shifting gears; 2. Do not immediately press the accelerator pedal hard after shifting into gear; 3. The vehicle can only be started in P or N gear; 4. The gear lever must be shifted from P gear with the brake pedal pressed; 5. Do not shift into N gear while driving to coast; 6. Do not push into P gear while the vehicle is moving; 7. When changing the direction of travel, switching between D and R gears should only be done after the vehicle has come to a complete stop; 8. Placing the gear in N while driving prevents the oil pump from supplying oil normally for lubrication, which can cause the internal components of the transmission to overheat and become damaged.

I can totally relate to the issue of jerky reverse gear engagement. Last time I drove my friend's old car, I experienced the same thing. The main culprit is usually the transmission fluid – when it's too dirty or low, the clutch engagement becomes rough, causing the car to jerk suddenly. Another common reason is worn engine mount bushings; cracked rubber reduces vibration damping. It could also be a stuck solenoid valve causing erratic oil pressure. My advice: first check the transmission dipstick – if the oil looks black and smells burnt, it needs replacing. If the jerking persists after an oil change, better scan for trouble codes with a diagnostic tool. Pro tip: for cars with auto start-stop, always wait until the engine fully restarts before shifting to reverse, otherwise it may lurch.

Why does the booster pump keep running without water usage and feel hot to the touch?

The reasons why the booster pump keeps running without water usage and feels hot to the touch are as follows: Fault in the pressure control system: The water pump reaches the controlled pressure immediately upon starting and then stops working, indicating an issue with the pressure control system. Once the pump stops, the pressure drops; No water usage in the pump's outlet direction: The pressure is replenished quickly, causing the booster pump to go into standby mode again. The solution is to replace the one-way check valve with a high-quality one. In fact, most cases of intermittent operation are caused by the check valve; Water pipe leakage: Due to a drop in water pressure within the pump cavity, the pump restarts to replenish pressure. Because the water flow in the outlet direction is minimal, the pressure rises to the set value in a short time, causing the booster pump to stop and maintain pressure.

What Nozzle Size is Needed for a Fine Spray with a Paint Gun?

For a fine spray with a paint gun, a nozzle size of 0.3 to 0.8mm is required. Automotive paint spraying methods: Base Coat: Pearl silver base coat is applied in three layers. The first layer is a mist spray, with a faster gun movement speed, creating a thin, fog-like application over the repair area or the entire vehicle to ensure the paint adheres to the primer. The second layer is applied to cover the primer or filler, revealing the color. Care should be taken to avoid silver base coat spotting or unevenness, and the gun movement speed can be slightly faster. The third layer corrects any spotting or unevenness from the second layer. Overall, the goal is to achieve uniform color coverage over the repair area or the entire vehicle. Clear Coat: After applying the base coat, allow a flash-off time of 5~15 minutes for some solvents to evaporate and the film to dry before applying the clear coat. The clear coat can be applied when the base coat is dry enough to touch lightly without transferring color. If the base coat surface is rough or to prevent dust, use a tack cloth and compressed air to blow and wipe simultaneously, followed by degreasing with a degreaser.

Should I go to a 4S shop or a repair shop for damage assessment?

You can go to either a 4S shop or a repair shop for damage assessment, but it is better to go to a 4S shop. Damage assessment at a 4S shop: Generally, after the damage assessment at a 4S shop, the vehicle will be repaired directly at the 4S shop. On one hand, 4S shops are more reliable. On the other hand, the parts used or replaced at a 4S shop are also guaranteed. Moreover, in auto insurance claims, disputes over damage assessment should be avoided as much as possible. Damage assessment at a repair shop: Repair shops offer lower prices for car repairs, and there are some differences in the damage assessment process between repair shops and 4S shops. The damage assessment at 4S shops is more standardized and strict, with relatively standardized use of various parts and procedures, while the damage assessment at repair shops is generally less rigorous.
