What causes the jerking sensation when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear in an automatic transmission?

The jerking sensation when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear in an automatic transmission is caused by unsmooth gear shifting. Before upshifting, slightly release the accelerator pedal, wait for the transmission to complete the upshift automatically, and then accelerate gently. Here are some precautions for driving an automatic transmission vehicle: 1. Gear shifting: Automatic transmission vehicles have protection and interlock mechanisms for gear shifting. Accidentally shifting from D to R or P gear while driving can be dangerous, but you can freely switch between D and N gears, even while driving. 2. Avoid coasting in neutral: Coasting in neutral does not save fuel in automatic transmission vehicles. Prolonged coasting in neutral can lead to insufficient oil pressure in the hydraulic lines of the automatic transmission, increasing friction, reducing lubrication effectiveness, and damaging the friction plates inside the transmission.
