Automatic transmission shifting into reverse with a clunking impact is caused by: 1. Electronic linkage between the brake system and the automatic transmission: When shifting gears, the clutch pedal is not fully depressed, causing gear damage; 2. Idle shifting: The automatic transmission model shifts into reverse before the engine speed drops to a stable state, causing a strong impact on the transmission; 3. Reverse gear lacks a synchronizer: The synchronizer is an internal device of the transmission that ensures smooth gear engagement when shifting while driving. Automatic transmissions do not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions.

What does the S gear on a Volkswagen car mean?

The S gear on a Volkswagen car stands for Sport mode, which is designed to provide faster acceleration. The S gear is the car's sport mode, allowing the transmission to shift freely but with delayed shift timing. This keeps the engine at higher RPMs for a longer duration, enabling the car to maintain lower gears at higher speeds for an extended period, thereby delivering greater torque output and acceleration. Volkswagen models include the Lavida, Lamando, Passat, Sagitar, Golf, etc. Taking the Golf 2021 model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4296mm, width 1788mm, height 1471mm, with a wheelbase of 2636mm, a fuel tank capacity of 51 liters, and a trunk capacity of 380 liters.
