For some reason, the transmission jerks when I shift from N to R after going from D to N. I could be driving and everything is fine but if I shifts when coming to complete stop, it jerks. If I wait for about 15-20 secs to go from N to R, the jerking may be less severe. There is no jerk if I shift very fast from D all the way to P. However, the car will jerk the next time I go from P to R.
I have a lot of things going on so I don't know if this is a new problem or old problem. I know it jerks in the past but I didn't think much of it. Recently, I adjusted the idle speed to let the car idle smoother. Previously, the car idles at 1800 rpm and factory setting is 700. I adjusted it to 900 rpm because 700 rpm will cause the car to stutter and shake. The car idles and drives fine. There is absolute nothing wrong with shifting and gear change while driving. The transmission shifts very smoothly when in D.
I am going to change the fluid Tuesday. I use PYB ATF and change any where from 15-30k miles and has changed the filter and gasket seal about 30k miles ago. I don't change ATF based on time or miles but rather do it together with in one out of every few oil change. The fluid comes out red and new during the change. I have the magnetic drain bolt and there is very little metal shaving. The current fluid as well as previous fluid has a strange smell and the color is clear. It is not a burn smell so I don't know if this is normal ATF smell or what. It smells the same when the car is cold or hot.
The car has factory transmission heat shield around the pan and I drive very gently. My driving is about 8 miles of light stop-n-go traffic due the right lights and morning traffic, followed by 30 miles of 60 mph. In the evening, traffic is heavier so I take the back route to avoid stop-n-go but the speed is only 30 mph during the last 8-10 miles.
Please help. Thanks.
