What Causes the Gear Shift Jerk in the New Bora?

[DiLeo]

Under normal circumstances, this jerking sensation is an inherent flaw of dual-clutch transmissions that is difficult to overcome, at least at this stage. Perhaps improvements will be made in the future. The primary advantage of dual-clutch transmissions for manufacturers is their cost-effectiveness and low production cost, but they offer little benefit to consumers. The jerking sensation is the most common complaint from owners of dual-clutch vehicles. In congested urban driving conditions, the dual-clutch transmission tends to automatically shift between lower gears, and unsuccessful gear changes can result in this jerking sensation. Additionally, overheating in dual-clutch transmissions is a significant issue. Inadequate cooling systems and excessively high temperatures can reduce the safety of both the vehicle and its passengers, which is another major cause of the jerking. Furthermore, dual-clutch transmissions have relatively poor stability. The two sets of manual transmissions rely on programming to shift gears, which is inevitably less precise than human-controlled shifting.
