What is a rough shift

What is "rough shift" defined as on a car? There seems to be debate on that

  • Anonymous Mar 11, 2010

    Well, i can feel it going into every gear, including 4th and 5th. It sometimes has a bit of a jerking feeling to it. Would this be considered rough? Thank You for your reply.

A rough shift is exactly what it implies.The shifting of gears should be a smooth transition. Rough shifting causes jerking, gear chatter, and undue strain on the components.

Shifting high rpm

You may have a throttle position sensor starting to act up. That's the system anyway. The unfortunate thing is, you have to replace the entire throttle body. Unlike most cars, it's not removable. On the fan....do you mean it's constantly loud like an airplane or big rig?

Transmission issues

I would take the vehicle to the dealer and leave it there. Period. Tell them you don't want it back or even a phone call until it is properly repaired.

Must foot be on brake when shifting gears in automatic trans

The damage potential is with accidental shifts out of PARK, such as with kids playing around or the accidental shift by an otherwise occupied driver. To prevent accidental shifting out of PARK, car makers years ago started installing the safety interlock which requires a foot on the brake pedal before shifting out of PARK and putting the car in motion. No damage potential in shifting between other gears, as long as the vehicle is stopped. I hope that this answers your question and wins the debate for you.

95 GMC 454 Auto-not shifting consistant

first things first, check your fluid level, and condition. If its abnormally bad with small fragments of black, you can assume that you burnt out a clutch and you'll need to get a reman or new transmission. If the level is too high or low, it will cause it not to shift properly.

Car is shifting hard into second and sometimes third. It also does when downshifting. It seems to do this when the car is hot. Took it out after it cooled down and seemed to shift fine.

Been there, Done that!!! Bought a 2000 bonneville used..once the car warms up it starts shifting rough and down shifting rough. I drove it all the way to work and it ran like a champ till i started start, stop drivin in the street and the tranny warmed up. I retured it to the dealer and it is a solenoid in the tranny that pumps the fluid to detect the shift pattern. that is what they fed me anyways. they fixed it for free. it wasnt too cheap..i got the slip and it was around 1300 dollars. im no car expert by far but this is what happened to me! hope it gives you an idea
