Golf IV R32 :: Shifting Gears - Jerking / Clunking When AC Is On

When shifting gears, mainly in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd while the air conditioner is on I'm experiencing jerking / clunking. When I shift it's not a smooth movement and produces a thump. The only way to really avoid this is by letting the clutch out very very slowly. It only happens when the A/C is turned on. Shifting is perfect when the A/C is off.

Honda - Accord :: 1999 - Overheating Faster / Jerking On Shifting Gears

My car is a 99 honda accord v6 EX (coupe)It started overheating about 2-3months ago. I was driving along and the needle on the gauge was completely on hot. I was able to make it home. Ive basically been driving it this whole time with the defrost on 80 and on full blast. Which keeps it around the halfway mark between hot and cold. I had a friend change my thermostat .. didn't fix it. Still overheats. But after he did that it seems to get hotter faster now. When I am at a stoplight it gets as hot as the gauge will let it go, then when I start driving again it cools down a little.

Now, after he changed the thermostat the car has been driving really rough. When I slow down to stop, it'll jerk a couple lightly then stop. When I accelerate from a stopped position it'll jerk a little then go. And when it shifts gears(its an automatic) it jerks very noticeably. So now im freaking out worrying my transmission is going too. So I guess what I am wanting to know is ... wtf is wrong with it??? Water pump? Ive been told if I change the water pump I need to have them change the timing belt too .. yes?

4Runner/GX470 :: 1997 Auto - Hesitate Between Shifting Gears / Sputtering And Jerking Motion Momentarily

I have a 97 4runner Automatic that as your driving it hesitates between shifting its gears. Most prominently happens around 80km/hr shifting between gears.

Its a sort of soft sputtering/jerking motion momentarily. It does shift into the gear and does drive fine once its in the gear. My check engine light is on as well now....

Passat (B7) :: 2015 - Steering To Right After An Alignment - Jerking Transmission

2015 TDI SE with sunroof. Wife's 3rd VW, 2nd TDI.

Under 1,000 miles. We both noticed it pulling to the right when on any road. The first thing that came to mind was tire pressure. I checked it. 50 PSI from the dealer/factory. We're running the Bridgestone run flats. The pressure in the door well says to set them at 35psi. The dealer was a little shocked when we brought it in that either one of their guys set it that high or someone from the factory did. The sidewall on the Bridgestone says 51psi max.

The dealer knocked down the pressures and gave us a free alignment. They said they road tested the car as well and it was good. We didn't get 2 miles away and when you let your hands off the wheel it will still pull right an entire lane in between 100-200 yards.

Is there a TSB out there on this? I'll be taking it back next week to get it looked at again. I drove a 2.5SEL when we got the tint/spoiler installed, tracked perfectly. I drove a 1.8TSI when we got the alignment done, tracked perfectly.

Also, the 1.8L was pretty impressive for a car that big. I believe it has about the same amount of power than the 2.5 but it seemed to have a lot more get up and go. Transmission however was VERY jerky and had a tough time finding the right gear.

Passat (B6) :: 2005 GLS TDI Jerking When Shifting And Hesitating When Taking Off From A Stop

I have a 2005 Passat GLS TDI. Recently it has started jerking when shifting and hesitating when taking off from a stop. I guess it's not quite a hesitation but I press the gas and it takes a few seconds to kick in and go. The check engine light came on and I read the codes with a code reader.

The codes I got were P0674-Glow plug/heater cylinder 4 and P0741 Torque converter CKT performance or stuck off. Now The car started hard in the winter when it was really cold so I am assuming the one code means we have a bad glow plug.

Passat (B6) :: 2006 - Gears Won't Shifting Normally

i have an 06 passat in manual, to put things short i was racing a friend last year on the highway and went from 5th to 4th at 120 thinking it was 6th and let the clutch grab ...needless to say i messed up the clutch and 2nd 4th and 6th gear felt like i was shifting into oatmeal if the RPMs were too high, BUT they would still grab.

thinking i only messed up the clutch setup, i went and got a clutch masters stage fx300 stage 3 kit with the steel flywheel (plan on going big turbo by summer)

after the shop installed the clutch, im getting the same results, better grabbing from the clutch in all gears EXCEPT FOR 6TH! 6th wont engage at all

so now im thinking i actually damaged the actual gears.

Passat (B5) :: Sounds Like A Blow Off Valve While Shifting Gears

It only happens sometimes, but definitely everyday. I have an 06 Passat 1.8T and when i'm accelerating and it shifts gears from 1 to 2 it sounds like i have a really bad blow off valve, yet i don't. I can't see anything noticeable under the hood. I am thinking its the turbo inlet pipe.

Passat (B5) :: No Start - Shifting Gears Allow Starter To Engage

2003 Passat 1.8t FWD.

My buddy is having a wierd issue that just recently started after it's gotten cold out. The car would not start for him so he had me look at it. Attempting to start there's no sound from the starter at all. Battery is fine. When I shift in and out of a few gears, the starter engages and the car starts. Stop the car. Attempt to start it again and nothing. Shift through the gears some more and the car almost starts but quickly dies. Shift some more, start, running like a champ.

What is it about shifting through the gears that allows the starter to engage and the car to run again?

Passat (B5) :: Gears Started To Feel Clunky When Shifting In To 2nd

When I used to change gears in my car it would feel smooth and precise, but just today when i was shifting in to 2nd, my gears started to feel clunky and like they were getting caught up on something. It feels like I'm not even engaging a gear when i put it into gear. Its so effortless and i don't get that secure feeling that i know i am in gear anymore.

Passat (B7) :: 2015 - Noise When Shifting To Reverse

I have a 15 Passat and when shifting to reverse. I get a gear or a bearing like noise, not actual gears grinding.

And when I pump my clutch it goes without saying there no issues at all. So now I pump the clutch and go into reverse. The car has 6k only, should I bring in for service or it's me.

Impreza - Outback :: Jerking / Jumping When Changing Gears

I have a 2002 Impreza Outback Sport. Since moving to Tucson, AZ, from Flagstaff, AZ, the car jumps when changing gears (I have a manual) as if I was back in the day of learning how to drive a stick shift. This only happens in the summer, when temperatures get up to 110. Also, the idle is very rough and the car almost stalls when stopping quickly (this is infrequent). What's happening with my car?

Elantra HD (2006-10) :: GLS Start Jerking As Gears Switched

I recently bought a 2010 Hyundai Elantra GLS with about 40k on it. It was driving perfectly fine for about a week until the car would start jerking as the gears switched (I should note I switched the car out of ECO mode when I got it because I found it harder to accelerate with it on. The ECO mode keeps the transmission in higher gears to support fuel economy). I went to my shop and had the transmission fluid flushed and replaced. The car switches gears a lot better now, but another problem seemed to arise. About a mile or so after turning the car on and driving, it will switch into neutral for 3-5 seconds until I hit the gas hard enough for it to catch on and move. I've had multiple experienced people drive it around for awhile and they seem to find everything completely perfect with the car. Could it just be the way I drive, turning ECO mode off, or could something actually be wrong with the transmission or other parts?

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Jerking Feel With Transmission When Switching Gears

This is the second time I notice a problem with my 2014 elantra base model. The car only has 13000kms and today the car acted with a weird behaviour. This car has a manual 6 speed transmission.

Out of the blue the car jerked like it had a problem with the transmission switching gears which is weird as this is a manual.

The second time this happened the wife was driving and she said that she was in is third gear and she pressed the clutch and the brake at the same time and she felt a small jerking feel in the clutch like it didn't engage.

The problem is that I cant reproduce the problem. The car is still under warranty and I don't want to go to the dealer with a problem that I cant exhibit.

Accent MC (2006-11) :: Gears Begin To Get Sticky / Jerking Motion

07 accent with transmission lurching.

As the auto trans heats up, the gears begin to get sticky. This creates a jerking motion as the engine downshifts while braking. It also happens at high speeds when attempting to downshift for acceleration.

Additionally, while shifting from park at hot temperatures, the transmission will take up to 15 seconds to engage into drive, and even more time (30-40 sec) to shift into reverse.

The car has recently (approx 6-8000 miles ago) had a complete transmission flush. The auto shop in town also suggested and did replace a sensor somewhere which supposedly had gone bad. But the problem persists...
