What is Gear Shift Jerking?

[LeTanner]

The causes of gear shift jerking: The engine speed does not match the current vehicle speed, meaning there is a speed difference between the engine speed and the clutch plate speed. Solutions for gear shift jerking are as follows: 1. Adjust the shift RPM. Appropriately reduce the engine speed when shifting gears, for example, shift at 1500 rpm. For large-displacement engines or those with good low-end torque, shifting can be done at a low RPM of 1000-1200 rpm. 2. Adjust the gear engagement sequence. Using skip-shifting can avoid jerking, such as shifting directly from 2nd gear at 2000 rpm to 4th gear, or from 3rd gear to 5th gear. 3. Shorten the shift time. Using the one-step method (depressing the clutch, then downshifting and upshifting in one continuous motion) can reduce the overall shift time, and the engine speed will drop less, avoiding jerking. 4. Lightly press the throttle during shifting. Gently pressing the throttle during shifting will neither cause high-speed idling nor result in jerking due to a rapid drop in RPM.
