1. Low transmission fluid level: Check the transmission fluid level and top it off if necessary. Low transmission fluid can cause the transmission to jerk as it shifts gears.
2. Dirty transmission fluid: Dirty transmission fluid can also cause the transmission to jerk. It is recommended to change your transmission fluid every 30,000 miles or so.
3. Faulty transmission solenoids: Transmission solenoids control the flow of hydraulic fluid in the transmission. If a solenoid is faulty, it can cause the transmission to jerk.
4. Faulty transmission valve body: The transmission valve body controls the flow of hydraulic fluid in the transmission. If the valve body is faulty, it can cause the transmission to jerk.
5. Faulty transmission filter: The transmission filter removes contaminants from the transmission fluid. If the filter is clogged, it can restrict the flow of fluid and cause the transmission to jerk.
6. Faulty torque converter: The torque converter is a fluid coupling that connects the engine to the transmission. If the torque converter is faulty, it can cause the transmission to jerk.
7. Faulty engine mounts: Engine mounts hold the engine in place in the vehicle. If an engine mount is broken, it can cause the engine to move around and put strain on the transmission, which can cause it to jerk.
