I'm living proof that changing transmission fluid is essential. In my case, I should have taken out the factory fluid the day I bought it.
it's never late to switch the factory transmission flud to Amsoil. But of course the sooner the better.
30,000 -50,000 miles
And filter
What happened to the car?
Qed we
Currently watching while experiencing one. Thank you so much 😊🙂
We are happy to hear you found this video to be helpful!
This has been so helpful for me for my Chevy equinox 2014 so when I go to the car dealership I know what to expect
Been looking for a video like this for months. 👍
Glad we could help, Todd! If you have any questions in the future, our Tech Team would be happy to help you out. You can contact them at Tech@amsoil.com or give them a call at 715-399-8324.
Thanks again!
excellent info.
My Chrysler Lebaron 1990 is suffering from this . And we used ams oil it's entire life span I guess when grandma handed the keys over the fluid was already old. I get a jerk when downshifting in 3rd hope some new fluid helps, she's an old girl in tip top shape too.
Thankz for the info am facing the same problem my Toyota allion jerks at 60kmph
After I got hit on the right fender in my 2015 jetta I noticed my car ( 2 days later) started leaking fluid at the time I just thought it was the A/C or something because it wasn’t leaking too much just visible, so I never moved the car since the accident until I took it to the repairs and 6 days later there was a puddle under the car. My friend came over to check it out and touched it and showed me it came out red. So fast forward 2 days later I try to move my car and when I shift from park to drive there’s a 2 second delay followed by a huge JERK, or when I switch to reverse, the car VIBRATES then stalls out. It’s now in the mechanic getting the transmission replaced with (33k miles) and my car has 80k miles. I pray everything works out well and I get it back soon I really miss my baby
Another great video Amsoil!
Thank you!
I have a Acura TLX 2015 Base Advanced I get a kick or jump or jerk from 0-35 110K miles any ideas ? Dealer charge $200 for a diagnostic
My car got in to an accident and all the transmission fluid leaked now we have put the fluid but it is producing jerks will it get better with time?
@AMSOIL INC.
What i don't understand / or have a handle on. Certain Manufacturers recommend specific transmission fluid.
Ie .... Ford Mercon LV , Mercon V , Ford Type F / GM : Dexron etc / Toyota WS Fluid / Honda their own honda fluid.
So even tho Amsoil has two or 3 types of transmission fluids which will work for multiple vehicles.
How are you able to make a fluid work for multiple vehicles and have it be better than what their dedicated fluid is? I don't get that.....seems almost more risky. in the sense maybe i'd be better using the Dealer OEM fluid and changing more often.
That's My hold up.
My car jerks going from P to D. On really hot days it shifts fine tho.
To sim it up. Change transmission fluid and learn how to drive correctly if you drive manual. Got it.
I already did that to my Tacoma, and is still doing it 😂🤔😳
So drive an MK6 VW Scirocco and my great changes are smooth when i take steady and increase speed gradually. When i make a high speed take off it staggers when shifting gears. I changed both the gear box and mechatronic oil successfully. The problem still persists please help. I am not mechanic BTW.
I got my transmission rebuild and is still doing same thing shift hard and excelerates
Will it work on auto cars
I was checking it on a 2009 Mazda 3 hatch super black trans oil can that cause a mild jerk from the first gear but smooth after all the way to 60 moths? What do you think it doesn’t always do it but you can tell in the first gear first mash on the gas ..
Thank you for the question, Stephen. There are many reasons that a transmission will have a jerk. Sometimes it is as simple as changing the fluid, and other times there could be worn clutch plates. The best thing to do is to have a trusted certified mechanic diagnose the issue. If you have further questions, or need a recommendation for fluid, please give us a call at 715-399-8324. Thank you! -The AMSOIL Team
Thanks for the great video! Please please could you perhaps help me? I am always getting -700 mbar clutch E fill pressure after adaptation. 8HP55. I cannot find anywhere an information if this is outside of the allowed pressures. My transmission when the fluid temp is over 70-80 C, jerks slightly always before shifting 1-2 and 5-6. Very very slightly 2-3 and nobody can help me. Not even ZF official repair shop. Mechatronics has been checked and entire transmission rebuilt with new parts. No one knows why it jerks :-(
Same problem here
@@tashaunmcfarlane4330 Hi, did you ever change your engine? I had burned piston, replaced my CGQB audi engine with facelift engine and that is the reason.
@@TheXone7 I think there was some changes to the engine. My mechanic rebuilt the engine and the cylinder head was cracked. He had said that he put and upgraded head in making it 2.2 or 2.4L.
@@tashaunmcfarlane4330 I might just end up by changing the engine to the oroginal CGQB engine. I wish I knew what part of that engine is different, becauase they should be almost identical. But perhaps injectors are bigger, cam shaft is stronger, etc. Thanks!
My daughter just got a brand new bike. On her lessons she can go slow for tight turns and the bike doesn’t jerk in 1st or 2nd gear, on her bike when she slows down into 2nd it jerks and not as smooth sluggish.
Can you help . Aprilia 150
Thank you for the question, Annie. The AMSOIL Synthetic Motorcycle Oils, such as the 10W-40 Scooter Oil (product code ASO) or Metric Motorcycle Oil (MCF) may be helpful to smooth out wet clutch performance to give better handling in corners. Both of these oils have really good detergents to help keep the clutches clean and porous, which in turn help to keep the shifting smoother and more reliable.
Feel free to contact our Tech Team if you'd like to speak with someone in more detail. We can be reached at Tech@amsoil.com or 715-399-8324. Hope this is helpful!

Thought I had a Jerky Transmission but Turn out to be a Bad Ignition Coil but Great Vid tho 💯
bad ecu ?
How long should it take for the jerk to go away if you had dirty transmission fluid and got it changed?
How long did it take?
?
_It normally doesn't go away since the internal damage had already been done._
@@DoctorRickSanchez how would you fix it next?
@@leannawright5129 new transmission
My 2013 gli jerks whenever I turn it on and move it from park there’s a little lag and then starts jerking even when hittin reverse could this be it???
Hi Andres, Thank you for the comment. In this instance, our Technical team recommends brining it to a mechanic who can physically diagnose the car. You may have something going on such as low transmission fluid or worn out fluid, but that would be something that the mechanic could look into for you.
Unless it’s a 2017 Tacoma…they came from the factory 1.5qrts low. Seal transmission. No dip stick. That’s my last Tacoma.
how long after fluid change you should expect to be better the jerky transmission?its passed 2-3 days already and feels almost the same
I have a jerky transmission and I still have the issue.
It really depends on what the issue specifically is and how severe it is.
@@ehmaidan it could most likely be a bad trans at that point Wich can and will most likely cost over 1000$ in repairs
Nobody has mentioned the 10% ethanol in our gas lately could be the cause too. When I use high test gas my 2011 impala works better. I herd the low grade gas can cause lots of problems carbon build up sensors not reading properly. After any maintenance disconnect the battery to reset the computer and sensors.
Could you please suggest atf amsoil fluid for my corolla 2008 1.8 .car is facing shift shock on 2 gear. Mileage 100000 km
Our Technical Team would be happy to help provide a product recommendation. Please contact our Tech Team directly at Tech@amsoil.com or by phone at 715-399-8324. Thank you!
My Z jerks hard when shifting. I never thought to change the fluid. I’ll report back if changing it was the problem.
@London Watson No it didn’t help however they did clear the ECU and for some reason it’s a lot smoother now. I was told the ECU can learn from a driver. Everything’s smoother now. They said the transmission fluid was just fine.
Add a bottle of seafoam to the fluid. Drive for a week or two. Drain the fluid and change the filter
It's a transmission not an engine. Don't do that
@hemi4722 works fine. Seafoam will dissolve all the buildup inside. Upu want to change it after awhile. Look it up.
I have a 2013 armada when I drive sometimes stepping on the gas I noticed i get a knock jump jerk underneath. Any idea?
My 2011 BMW X3 35i is doing that, it's worse at higher speeds. I have different brand tires on the rear even though they are the correct size they're still different enough to apparently cause a problem. BMW want to reflush my transfer fluid twice. HOPEFULLY I haven't ruined the transmission :(
@@webslingernz sound like it's ruined, mine is probably little bit worn too. Not very often it happens mine will slip when trying to accelerate between 40 mph. But I love the new bmw x7 m sport. Wish I can own one one day
Will the jerkiness be gone as soon as the fluid is changed? Or will it take some time?
Hii
I just had a rebuilt transmission in My car 2 weeks ago and ever since I pulled it out the parking lot it keeps jerking back and forth through first and second and sometimes 3rd and drive automatic transmission kind of shakes back and forth a little bit like shuttering. Anybody know what that is I'm going to take it back to the shop soon
Same thing happens to me
@@Jesus-rt2wm did they ever find out what's wrong with yours? Because I had an appointment last week but my wife's car blew a rear engine seal out with only 40,000 miles on it so I had to change my appointment to take her car in. So I'm still suffering with jerky transmission from 3rd to drive and I just spent over $3,000 on it
Does this apply to manual transmissions too?
No
Free advise.i wish fix was free also
What about when u put it in D N or R you feel a jerk?
Check your mountings first
You literally just explained about fluid change but no other reasons why it could jerk smh
Mine only does when the car needs to warm up. After 5 minutes of driving and it’s fine
Mine too... i just bought the car a few weeks ago... and when I test drove it the car was warm so no jerkiness at that time... only when just starting out for the day... the shift is a little hesitant or jerky when I first leave home... between 2 and 3rd gear or between 3 and 4th gear... then it 'sometimes' dose it again after I leave the next stop sign/light... if that stop sigh/light is only a few blocks away... but after this one or two issues... it dosent act up again all day... puzzled... so i just did the transmission flush three days ago... and the next morning there was just one very sudtle jerk... and this morning I decided to drive it like I own it... because I was taking it easy driving first thing to minimize jerkiness... but this morning it jerked again noticeably once... we will now see why it does tomorrow... hopefully it has stopped... if by Monday it is still acting up the transmission guy will try something else... I don't remember what it will be.
What are you doing about your issue? How long has it been going on for what dose you transmission guy say? Best of luck with your issue
my shit red as a tomatoe n it still doin it
I thought replacing old fluid was dangerous to the tranny?
You see, I got cvt soooo
Changed gear oil. Still same problem.
I am also facing same issue did you find out what problem
My car is jerking in fourth gear switch only after switch on my car and during running it's ok what's the reason ?
The best fix called get rid of the car best fix I ever did😂
Can of seafoam inside. Drive a week. Drop plan, change filter, change fluid.
seafoam?
Nope
@kenj.8897 seafoam will dissolve any buildup causing it. If that does not work, you have a larger problem
Jesus is coming soon! Make sure you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Don't be left behind! JESUS LOVES YOU! John 3:16, 2 Peter 3:9, Luke 5:32, Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9, Matthew 4:17, Mark 16 16-17.
Don’t ever change your trans fluid if it’s never been done and you have a high mileage car!
What do you consider a high mileage car
why?
You can change the fluid just don't do a flush.
