Possible causes of jerking when engaging reverse gear on an automatic transmission:

Transmission fluid level is low: Check the transmission fluid level and top up if necessary.

Contaminated transmission fluid: Old or contaminated transmission fluid can cause insufficient oil pressure and jerking. It is recommended to change the transmission fluid according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Worn or faulty components: Worn friction plates, clutch packs, or solenoids can cause slipping or jerking when shifting.

Electrical Problems: Faulty sensors or wiring problems can interfere with the transmission control system.

Software or Settings: In some cases, updating the software or adjusting the transmission settings may resolve jerking problems.

Signs of serious problems:

*Strong or repeated jerking
* Gear slippage
* Transmission fluid leaks
* Transmission overheating
* Hissing or vibrating sound when shifting gears

What to do:

*Check the transmission fluid level and top up if necessary.
* Take the vehicle to a qualified mechanic for diagnosis and repair.
