What Causes Transmission Jerking?

[AbigailAnn]

Reasons for transmission jerking: 1. Upshift jerking occurs when the transmission's response speed is not fast enough, and the upshift speed cannot keep up with the throttle input, resulting in a jerking sensation during gear changes; 2. Low-speed jerking: When driving at low speeds, frequent shifting between first and second gears causes the clutch to continuously engage and disengage, preventing smooth power delivery in a short time, leading to common low-speed jerking; 3. Downshift jerking is caused by the intervention of the energy recovery system. Once the driver releases the throttle pedal or presses the brake pedal, the generator immediately starts working, placing a load on the engine and affecting its speed, causing a mismatch between the engine speed and the clutch plate speed, which results in a jerking sensation.
