What Causes Shifting Shudder in Automatic Transmissions?
1 Answers
Because the transmission gear oil is relatively viscous and dense, the transmission components receive the engine's power more noticeably, causing the vehicle to shake significantly. Below is relevant information about automatic transmission shifting: 1. When waiting at a red light for an extended period: If you're waiting at an intersection for a prolonged red light, it's advisable to shift to N (Neutral) and engage the handbrake. Keeping your foot on the brake for too long can cause the transmission fluid temperature to rise excessively. 2. Avoid frequent use of S (Sport) mode: When shifting into S mode, the vehicle can change gears freely. While this feature is convenient, frequent use of S mode can severely impact the transmission. Typically, S mode should only be used during high-speed overtaking.
