Why is it difficult to shift gears and feels jerky?
1 Answers
The reasons for difficulty in shifting gears and a jerky feeling are: 1. Mismatch between vehicle speed and gear: If the vehicle speed is too high, shifting into a lower gear can make it difficult to engage the gear and cause strong jerking sensations; 2. Lack of maintenance in the shifting mechanism: The shifting mechanism is a frequently used component, so it is subject to higher wear. When the shifting mechanism lacks lubrication, operation becomes unusually stiff; 3. Low winter temperatures and insufficient lubrication in the transmission. The owner should attempt to shift gears only when the vehicle is completely stopped. Additionally, it's advisable to check if the vehicle's synchronizer is malfunctioning. If the synchronizer is faulty, it will also be difficult to engage gears. This issue can only be resolved by repairing or replacing the synchronizer.
