i have noticed that when shifting from park to reverse my car will jerk pretty hard. i make sure to let my car warm up before shifting to reverse. sometimes i will even get the jerk after driving. is this normal? if not any advice?

 

this happens to me too sometimes.. i have no idea what the cause of it

 

i got the same but i dont think nothing is wrong with it.as long my tranmisson dont slip while im driving is all good lol

 

TY for the input ;]

 

yup pretty normal

 

Yeah it happened on my gs300. It happened whenever i changed gear to opposite direction i.e D to R, or R to D.
Noticed that before i bought it and sold it almost two years later with no problems.

 

mine did that until I got the axle regreased.

 

wow i had posted a new thread earlier on the same subject lol

i guess its normal thank god

 

When mine did this I ended up replacing a tranny.

 

This happened to my old car and it was a broken transmission mount. I just fill the mount with 3m window weld and it stop jerking when I shift gears.

 

Maybe someone installed a shift kit in your car... cuz mine does that...oh wait, but I WANT mine to do that

 

How old is your car? If you have not checked the transmission fluid, take a look at it and see if smells "burnt". It should look pretty much like it does out of the bottle. Otherwise, I would get it flushed and filled. Don't know if this is an issue or not, but it all depends on the age of your car, what kind of load and driving conditions it has seen and if you have maintained it properly. Hope this helps.

 

I drive a 06 with 45000 miles I just got the car at the begining of this year with 39k on it

 

my car is a 03 with 78k and a school teacher owned the car her husband sold me the car in mint condition .... i doubt it very much there is something wrong with the transmission

the car drives super smooth no trans slip just the thumb from d-r

 

mine does that too. changed the tranny fluid, it didnt jerk as hard but i might have to try and re grease the axle
