Why does the Baojun 510 AMT shake when starting?

Baojun 510 AMT shaking when starting is caused by severe wear or displacement of the clutch fork. Severe engine carbon deposits: The most common cause of car shaking is a dirty throttle body or excessive carbon deposits in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon deposit inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector will be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits. Engine misfire: Engine misfire mainly refers to one or more cylinders in the engine not working properly. It manifests as an obvious intermittent flow of exhaust gas from the car, severe shaking of the exhaust pipe, and noticeable engine vibration, sometimes accompanied by a sputtering sound. This is mostly related to ignition coil failure. Engine air-fuel mixture being sometimes lean and sometimes rich: This causes idle shaking after a cold start. The lower the temperature, the more fuel is needed for a cold start, and the presence of carbon deposits will significantly affect whether the cold start proceeds smoothly.
After years in auto repair, I've seen it all. The most common cause of jerky starts in the Baojun 510 AMT is improper clutch engagement or worn clutch plates. AMT transmissions rely on electronically controlled clutches - if the positioning is off or the electronic control system has issues during takeoff, it'll cause stuttering and vibrations. Unstable engine idle is another culprit; spark plug carbon buildup or uneven fuel injection can affect smoothness. Temperature extremes may also slow down sensor response, amplifying the shudder. My advice: avoid aggressive starts, try gentle acceleration first. If that doesn't help, get the clutch and ECU checked professionally ASAP. Small issues left unchecked can snowball into costly overhauls.
