Why does a Toyota shake when in D gear?
1 Answers
When waiting at a red light with the gear in D and the brake pedal pressed, the car shakes noticeably, but the shaking stops when shifted to N gear. This is not a fault in the car but a normal phenomenon. The details are as follows: 1. The shaking comes from the transmission because the gear is in D, which means the power is connected. The engine's power is transmitted to the transmission, which then sends it to the wheels through the driveshaft. The car is supposed to move forward, but since the brake is pressed and it can't move, the transmission is constantly under tension, causing the shaking. 2. This shaking occurs in every car, but it is more noticeable in some cars and less so in others, sometimes even imperceptible. This is because some cars have better noise and vibration control, effectively isolating the shaking so that it doesn't reach the interior of the car.
