What Causes CVT Gear Shift Jerking?
1 Answers
CVT gear shift jerking situations are as follows: Insufficient Lubrication: A common cause of CVT transmission jerking is gear shift jerking during cold starts. Most mainstream CVT transmissions require fluid, and insufficient lubrication during cold starts can lead to poor connection between the chains. When the clutch engages during a cold start, it is prone to impact, resulting in gear shift jerking. This situation can be avoided by ensuring proper warm-up and firmly pressing the brake during gear shifts to allow smooth clutch engagement. Design and Quality: Design and quality issues can cause CVT transmission vibration. Additionally, poor quality or chain wear exceeding normal limits may lead to excessive metal debris accumulation in the oil pan, which can also cause CVT transmission vibration. However, this typically does not result in severe jerking.
