Why is there a jerking sensation when shifting gears in an automatic transmission?
1 Answers
Reasons for jerking sensation when shifting gears in an automatic transmission: 1. Transmission clutch pressure leakage; 2. Blockage or poor flow in the transmission oil circuit; 3. Insufficient transmission oil level; 4. Damaged solenoid valve. An automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. The gear positions in an automatic transmission car, from top to bottom, are: P (Parking/Start), R (Reverse), N (Neutral), D (Drive), S (Sport mode), and L (Low gear). The automatic transmission uses planetary gear mechanisms to shift gears automatically based on the degree of throttle pedal input and changes in vehicle speed.
