What Causes Shaking When Starting in First Gear?
1 Answers
Reasons for shaking when starting in first gear: It is caused by excessive wear of the clutch pressure plate. Manual transmissions primarily transmit power through the clutch, and the clutch pressure plate is mainly responsible for transferring kinetic energy. The clutch pressure plate has a limited lifespan. Prolonged semi-engagement, the engine operating under excessive load for extended periods, and other conditions can accelerate the wear of the pressure plate. When the clutch pressure plate wears to a certain extent, the power engagement will not be as smooth, causing the car to shake and the engine speed to become unstable. The solution to shaking when starting in first gear is to visit a repair shop or 4S store and have the maintenance technicians replace the clutch pressure plate.
