Why does the Nissan Sylphy jerk when shifting into reverse gear?
2 Answers
It may be due to insufficient lubrication when the transmission is cold. Below is relevant information about the Sylphy: Introduction to the Sylphy: The Sylphy is a mid-size sedan under Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. and is one of the most typical mainstream family sedans in the Chinese market (alongside models like the Octavia PRO, Sagitar, Lavida, Corolla, and Bora). Sylphy's smart features: The new car is equipped with the latest Nissan Connect super-smart system, featuring an external 8-inch HD capacitive touchscreen that includes functions like voice control and remote vehicle control. The voice control system allows basic operations of the vehicle's online entertainment system, real-time navigation, Bluetooth calls, dashcam, and air conditioning through simple voice commands.
I've encountered this issue quite a few times. The Nissan Sylphy jerking when shifting into reverse gear is usually related to several reasons. First, check if it's a manual transmission model - worn clutch plates or improper pedal height adjustment can cause incomplete disengagement, leading to unstable power transfer and jerking when shifting into reverse. For automatic CVT transmissions, hydraulic system or solenoid valve failures are more common, especially noticeable in winter when low temperatures thicken the fluid. Start with simple checks first, like whether the transmission fluid level is insufficient or too dirty - replacing dirty fluid isn't expensive. Additionally, aged engine mounts or spark plug carbon buildup can also cause overall vibration. I recommend not delaying - the sooner you address it, the less trouble you'll have. Otherwise, worsening vibration could potentially damage the transmission, leading to expensive repairs. Prolonged issues may also affect reversing safety. It's best to have it checked at a reliable repair shop.
