What causes severe shaking when the X-Trail is in reverse gear?
1 Answers
The reason for severe shaking when the X-Trail is in reverse gear is due to component blockage. Causes of vehicle shaking: On one hand, it could be a newly started vehicle, or it could be due to blocked components; on the other hand, it might also be due to incorrect use of the reverse gear. The specific issue should be analyzed accordingly. If the vehicle shakes when shifting into reverse immediately after starting, it may be because the engine temperature is still low, and the clutch transmission might not be fully disengaged due to overly thick oil, leading to shaking. If the shaking is caused by severe carbon buildup in the vehicle leading to fuel injector blockage, it is recommended to visit an auto repair shop to clean the fuel injectors, which should improve the situation. Precautions when using reverse gear: For most vehicles, the reverse gear is not equipped with helical gears or synchronizers but relies on direct gear meshing. If there is significant shaking or loud noise when shifting into reverse, it is usually due to incomplete gear meshing. When driving, regardless of the gear, the clutch should always be fully depressed to completely cut off the power output between the engine and the transmission before shifting into reverse. Additionally, when shifting into reverse, the vehicle must be brought to a complete stop, and the shift should be performed slowly. If there is unusually loud noise when shifting into reverse, it is best to have the vehicle thoroughly inspected at a service station.
