Some Honda Accord owners report experiencing jerking in the transmission when shifting between Reverse and Drive after 30,000 miles. This issue may be linked to low or dirty transmission fluid, which can lead to jerky shifting if not at the correct level or condition. Additionally, worn or damaged transmission mounts have been noted as a contributing factor, causing excessive movement during gear changes. Some owners have also reported that a faulty transmission solenoid can result in transmission slippage and jerking, as this component regulates clutch pack pressure in the automatic transmission. Furthermore, certain Honda Accord models are known to have transmission issues, prompting Honda to extend warranties for specific models to cover related repairs. If the jerking persists, it is recommended that owners seek a thorough inspection from a professional mechanic to accurately diagnose any underlying problems.
