When switching from Park to Drive

the car kicks back slightly


is this normal?

 

I would say yes, remember you are going from Park to Reverse to neutral to drive.
If you slam it into drive the transmission doesn't really have a chance to shift properly.

 

but it also happens when going from Park to Reverse
the car makes a back and forth jerk

the jerk is more intense from park to reverse then it is from park to drive

im gonna take it in thursday, its still under warranty

 

same prob ^

 

so what are you gonna do?

 

F*** do i know lol im out of warranty. i think its normal , i mean ya it feels rough , but i dont think its that rough ?

 

If your foot is on the brake, there should be no jerking or movement anywhere.

 

ok it is normal when you put your car into park a pin locks your tranny into place. esp if you are parked on a incline/decline the car will shift and put pressure onto the locking pin causing difficulty shifting out of park and/or a slight jerk.
