1997 Ford Mondeo Repair Question
Mileage: 90,000 miles.
Ford mondeo automatic gear jerking at low speed high rev
Asked by JimboSmithAnswer
At 2 or 3 k rpm any vehicle would jerk hard when shifted into gear for an automatic.
Okay forget about the revs, I wrote the question quickly. But the car is jerking hard from stationary in first gear. After that, it's fine. There is a definite kick when changing into first gear. What could be causing this? thanks.
Is the MIL indicating?
It could be a fault with the controls, solenoids, pressure leakages or mechanical inside transmission.
Thanks. Not sure what you mean by Mil.
Malfunction Indicator Light or the Check Engine Light.
Get a scan to check for trouble codes.
No, there's isn't a malfunction light coming on.
If you engage D and transmission does not catch till 2 or 3 k rppm and then it suddenly kicks in with a hard jerk, that could be a fault with the clutches or the solenoids and testings would be necessary to determine what could be wrong.
