Camry 2012+ :: SE Transmission Jerks When Driving

So a few days ago until now I've noticed the transmission jerks as I am driving, like a slight stall and such. Could this mean my transmission is failing, I feel as if the car chokes. My car currently had 8900 miles, all highway driven.

While I was doing some reading, I noticed some people had their ECU resetted. Also my average mpg is 10 mpg on a v4.

Camry :: 2009 - Mild Transmission Leak

About two days ago I notice a small puddle under neath my car as I visited my parents and saw it as I was walking up to my vehicle. Upon observation and looking at it, it seems to be transmission fluid. It's a very red color, not gritty or dirty.

So I look under and see that the transmission/case is a little moist and has dirty slightly built up on it from the dirt clinging onto the oil.

I checked my fluids last night after a 10 hour shift of work, decent sized puddle (Not huge but enough to leave the concrete slightly moist/red). I checked them cold and it read over the hot/full mark, I drove home an hour away then went for another reading, it still read over the hot/full mark. I'm guessing it's not leaking as bad as I may think, maybe I am just paranoid and not used to leaking fluids.

I once again checked it this morning after the car sat over night, reads over the hot/full mark. I notice the cold mark is way lower on the dipstick? I thought it would be the higher mark since on some vehicles when the car is hot/warm the transmission will read lower then it should? Anyhow, am I doing something wrong or is this the correct way of reading the transmission dip stick accurately? I am worried of running out of fluid before I am able to diagnose the issue. I do have to drive an hour to and from work everyday so I will check before and after the drive till I am able to jack it up to see what the issue is. Any clues on what it may be?

I DID read that the coolant is used to cool the transmission, not too sure if I am red coolant in my car but it doesn't smell like coolant?

Camry :: 2009 2.4L - Drain / Change Transmission Oil

I have a 2009 camry 2.4L with a 5speed manual transmission. My car currently has 67,000 miles and I want to drain / change the transmission oil. Is there a type or recommended best oil to use? I was thinking of just getting toyota factory 75w-90 gear oil and putting it back in. Is the process for drain / change the same as the corolla because I saw a DIY for the 5 speed corolla trans.

Camry :: 2009 - Auto Transmission Not Engaging

2009 Camry SE 2.4L. I have been noting an unfamiliar vibration of sorts in my gas pedal for some time, but did not notice smells, overheats, noises, fluid loss, DTCs or anything. Today on my way to work I started to notice hard shifting. The RPMs would rev up, fall down and shift hard. At time the RPMs would climb to 5k before dropping back down then shifting. Got worse, then finally when I was trying to U turn across the road (was stopped in gear) I lost all gears. I could shift to any gear, engine RPMS would remain stable, but no movement. Pressing on the gas just hiked the revs.

I pushed it off the road, and killed the engine and could get it to engage for short periods then no gears again. Seems like if I let it sit for a bit it will work for a short while, then no gears again. Had it towed home. Trans fluid indicates full, no burnt coloring or smell to it. No indications of leaks. After the tow I was able to drive it up into my driveway.

For clarity, I can move the selector to any gear and that feels normal. The engine does not bog down. I simply am not engaging any gear. Thinking sensor? Maybe heat related?

Touareg :: Transmission Malfunction - Jerks When Downshifting

VW replaced my entire transmission and it still jerks into gear when downshifting to a stop or hitting the gas hard while coasting!

Also, I swear there is now binding while turning a la moteur stepper. New tranny. New rear drive shaft. Allegedly new transfer case (I cannot confirm this though). New new new programming. And still the darned thing vibrates by butt with a downshift that a Bettle with 300,000 miles on the clock would not dare make.

Any reference to the operation of the transmission and the sequencing of the various clutches and other coupling devices with respect to gear selection and engine conditions?

Lexus GS 2013+ :: Transmission Shifts (jerks) A Little Rougher

So I noticed that my transmission shifts (jerks) a little rougher than the 3 previous Lexi's that I had when shifting into drive or reverse when the car isnt fully warmed up. Is that "normal?" Had 2 ESes and 1 RX and while I do feel a slight lurch, the GS is a bit rough. I usually let the RPM drop to 1k before driving off on warm or cold days.

Separate incident: I recall at one point, I was going reverse, stopped, quickly shifted into drive and gave it some pedal (not full throttle) and felt a noticeable "bang" and violent lurch forward. Could that have hurt the transmission? Is the computer smart enough to prevent damage? I'm thinking this might have been the cause of it.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Transmission Jerks When Downshifting (intermittent)

My daughter has a 2010 Sonata with a 4 cylinder and an automatic transmission. She is pretty frustrated with an intermittent problem. Every once in awhile, especially if the engine is cold, the car jerks while slowing down. She believes it is the transmission when it down shifts. I have driven the car and have not been able to duplicate the problem myself. The dealer recently changed the mapping for the transmission in hopes that would work but it hasn't. The dealer hasn't been able to duplicate the condition either.

Corolla / Matrix 2009-13 :: Jerks On Freeway Going About 60 Mph When Accelerate

Today on the freeway going about 60 mph, my 2009 Corolla started to jerk and feel like it was going to stop. It lasted for a few minutes and then on my way home, there was no problem. I was told that this could be from not driving on the freeway enough? Do I need to have it looked at?

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: 2009 - Jerks Around 20 Mph - It Is Due To Downshift Pump?

My Hyundai is giving me a major headache. I bought a 2009 sonata used a few months back. Not long after I got it, I was having issues with it jerking around 20 mph. Sometimes, it would have a few issues with it jerking some when I was taking off. This was only right after the car was started. I took it to a local Aamco. The guy told me that it was a 2-1 downshift pump. He "relearned" the transmission and the problem went away. Now, it is back. At the time, he did some research and thought it may stem from a calibration update they had issued. He didn't have the Hyundai software to try that fix.

Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: 2011 XLT 4x4 - Vibrates And Jerks About 65 Mph?

Driving to work the other day on the expressway going about 65 and my truck starts vibrating and jerking like crazy. I thought i had a blow out , so I checked my tires and they were ok. Then, I thought I may had run over something. I continued off the ramp and drove on the highway to work, no sooner than a couple of minutes later it happened again. I had a tow truck take it to the dealer, this was Thursday. It's now Sunday and I haven't heard from customer service after they told me they'd call..... Its an EcoBoost by the way.

Toyota - Matrix :: Automatic Transmission Jerks When Up-shifting From Gear One To Two

I have a 2010 Matrix with automatic transmission. 5.5 year old with only 44,000 KM ... The transmission jerks annoyingly when up-shifting from gear one to two. I replaced the transmission oil and had Toyota service confirm there is a problem.

I read that the accumulator should be checked and adjusted as well as the throttle which can be done without removing the transmission, but Toyota tells met hat everything is now electronic and there is nothing to adjust. How to proceed?

Passat (B5) :: 2001 - Transmission Jerks / Clicks Whenever It Is Downshifted Into 2nd Gear

So my trans clicks and jerks every time it downshifts into 2nd but that is the only time it does it. When i down shift using the tip shift it doesn't do anything and it all feels normal. What it could be being that it is just when it downshifts into second.

My car is a 2001 v6 4motion.

Mazda - 626 :: 1991 - Transmission Hard Shifts From 1st To 2nd - Jerks When Driven For A Bit

A while ago, I acquired a 1991 Mazda 626 automatic (currently 105,000 miles) that now has what appear to be the beginning of transmission issues. It hard shifts from 1st to 2nd - the shift jerks really hard when the car is cold but once I've driven it for 15-20 minutes the hard shift almost disappears completely and stays that way as long as the car is warm - except for stop and go traffic (Seattle traffic) than the hard shift comes back no matter how long I've been driving. The only other shifting issue I notice is on the hills where it seems to shift more frequently than I might expect it too.

Other than what I've described this car is in perfect condition inside and out, as well as engine-wise. My question is on transmissions and whether I should get a rebuilt one. I've taken it to multiple transmission shops and almost all have told me two things 1) I need a new transmission and 2) that the issue is a hard component problem and I could most likely drive this car for months or years without having to replace the transmission - if I want to put up with the rough shifts. They recommended just driving it until the transmission goes out and then replacing it.

Saturn - Vue :: 2003 - Transmission Jerks And Shifts To A Higher Gear

Only during the summer, my 2003 Vue transmission jerks and shifts to (I believe) to a higher gear. Mechanic replaced the computer "harness" but it did not solve the problem. The car has little power to accelerate from a stop. I usually pull over, turn off the motor, and restart the vehicle.

Ford Transmission :: 2001 F350 Jerks When Shifting Almost A Clunk

2001 F-350 w/powerstroke. Tranny is the automatic w/overdrive. right at 170K miles and it has not been serviced since I've owned it (about 10 years).
Lately it is jerking when shifting, especially noticeable when I'm pulling my 5er (10K lbs). Almost a "clunk". No warning lights or OD flashing. I live at 6000 feet and play at over 9K so mountain driving is routine. Fluid is up to right spot on the dip-stick.

Ford Transmission :: 2004 F350 - Jerks While Approaching To Stop And Go?

Bought my first Diesel few weeks ago and I am trying to figure out if something is normal. Its a 2004 F350 and the truck seems to jerk a little bit when I come to a stop and when I hit on the gas. Feels like a tug every time into gear.

I would like to say its first to second but it cant be because its basically only happens when I press on the gas and start rolling, unless I am going into second immediately thats not it. I know less than dick about this truck?
