What Causes the Jerking Sensation When Shifting from First to Second Gear?

[DiChloe]

Jerking when shifting from first to second gear is usually caused by persistent dirt and impurities inside the transmission. Accumulation of these contaminants in the valve body can lead to blockages, preventing effective regulation of oil pressure and resulting in jerking or impact issues. This problem can only be completely resolved by thoroughly cleaning the stubborn dirt and impurities inside the transmission. Below are some key points to note when shifting gears: When shifting gears, remember the principle: "accelerate before upshifting, decelerate before downshifting." Before upshifting, press the accelerator to increase the speed first; before downshifting, release the accelerator to reduce the speed first. For upshifting, follow the principle of pressing the clutch, shifting to neutral, pressing the clutch again, and then engaging the higher gear. Quickly pressing the clutch pedal twice allows for smooth gear increases. For downshifting, follow the principle of pressing the clutch, shifting to neutral, releasing the clutch, lightly revving the engine, pressing the clutch again, and then engaging the lower gear. Press the clutch pedal twice, lightly rev the engine after the first press, then press the clutch pedal a second time while simultaneously shifting the gear lever to the lower gear.
