Why does the automatic transmission shift with a jerk?
1 Answers
Automatic transmission shifting with a jerk may be caused by: clutch pressure leakage in the transmission; blockage or poor flow in the transmission oil circuit; insufficient transmission oil level; or damaged solenoid valves. The engine's power is transmitted through the transmission, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, an automatic transmission consumes over 10% more fuel than a manual transmission. Whether manual or automatic, more gears mean better fuel efficiency. Here is additional information: Jerky shifting in automatic transmission cars: Damaged solenoid valves. If sludge in the transmission oil circulates and blocks the oil passages in the valve body, it can cause jerky shifting. Over time, this can lead to a series of transmission issues such as overheating, jerking, slippage, etc.
