What Causes Gear Shift Jerkiness in Automatic Transmission Vehicles?
1 Answers
Here are the reasons for gear shift jerkiness in automatic transmission vehicles: 1. Internal clutch pressure leakage in the transmission. Check if the clutch is damaged and carry out repairs. 2. Blockage or poor flow in the transmission oil circuit. Wear in the oil circuit plate, long-term lack of transmission oil change leading to deterioration and reduced lubrication effectiveness, excessively dirty transmission filter with poor filtration allowing wear particles to enter the valve body. 3. Transmission oil not filled to the standard level. Verify whether the transmission oil is at the standard level, as both insufficient or excessive transmission oil can cause this issue. For vehicles with a transmission dipstick, check if the oil level is at the standard mark when the engine is running. 4. Solenoid valve damage. Sludge in the transmission oil circulating and blocking oil passages in the valve body can cause jerkiness issues. Prolonged conditions may lead to a series of transmission problems such as overheating, impact, and slipping.
