What Does Transmission Jerking Mean?
1 Answers
Transmission jerking refers to the impact sensation caused by the inertia of moving parts inside the engine. The transmission, also known as the gearbox, is a mechanism used to alter the speed and torque from the engine. It can either maintain or change the gear ratio between the output and input shafts, and it consists of a gear transmission mechanism and a control mechanism. The causes of transmission jerking are: 1. Upshift jerking: The transmission's response speed is not fast enough, and the upshift speed cannot keep up with the driver's throttle input, resulting in jerking during gear changes. 2. Downshift jerking: When the driver releases the throttle pedal or steps on the brake pedal, the generator starts working, placing a burden on the engine and causing the engine speed to become out of sync with the clutch plate speed, leading to jerking.
