What causes the transmission jerk in Geely Xingyue?
2 Answers
Reasons for transmission jerk in Geely Xingyue: Incorrect specification of transmission fluid selected; Inappropriate amount of transmission fluid filled; Internal contamination or presence of impurities in the transmission leading to ineffective regulation of transmission fluid pressure, resulting in transmission jerk, etc. Detailed explanations of the reasons are as follows: Presence of internal impurities: When experiencing jerkiness during transmission operation, one possible reason to consider is the presence of impurities or contaminants inside the machine. These phenomena can significantly alter the transmission fluid pressure, thereby causing transmission jerk. Poor internal heat dissipation: The reasons for this situation are complex, but once the transmission temperature exceeds 120 degrees, the transmission seals will be affected, gradually hardening, which in turn leads to transmission jerk.
I also experienced transmission jerking when driving my Geely Xingyue. Shortly after buying the car, I noticed some lack of smoothness during gear shifts, as if the car suddenly jerked. Common causes could be insufficient or aged transmission fluid leading to inadequate lubrication of friction plates; it might also be a software bug in the control module or a sensor malfunction, resulting in incorrect shift timing. I tried checking the transmission fluid level myself—if the oil is too dirty or low, problems are more likely. Additionally, sudden acceleration tends to trigger jerking more often, so driving slower and avoiding aggressive throttle inputs can help mitigate it. If the jerking becomes too severe, it’s best to visit a 4S shop for diagnostics as soon as possible to prevent bigger issues. Regular maintenance is also crucial—for example, changing the transmission fluid every two years can prevent such problems. From my personal experience, paying attention to these small details makes driving much smoother.
