Why does the car jerk when accelerating in low gear?
1 Answers
The reasons for the car jerking when accelerating in low gear are as follows: 1. Manual transmission models: First, rule out whether it is a driving habit issue. Driving at high speed in low gear or low speed in high gear can cause jerking. 2. Automatic transmission models: If the clutch and throttle coordination in manual transmission models is not properly synchronized, high speed with low gear can lead to higher engine RPM, resulting in engine braking and causing jerking. It could also be an internal engine issue, possibly due to excessive carbon buildup in the engine. It is recommended to check whether the spark plugs need replacement or if the throttle body needs cleaning. For automatic transmission models, if the computer is not very responsive, jerking may also occur because it is caused by a mismatch between the engine and vehicle speed.
