Jerky shifting reverse to drive??

[Cjmccoy93]

So I’ve been noticing that when I back out of my driveway then put it in drive I get a very abrupt and jerky shift. BUT ONLY when I come to a complete stop before I put it in drive. If I’m backing up and put it into drive right before I come to a complete stop it’s perfectly smooth!

anyone have any experience with this? My tranny fluid is in good condition. Thanks in advance.

I’m judging you have the 6 speed because of you saying you have good fluid condition? And it’s normal, mine doesn’t do it, but my friends does and it’s followed by a loud clunk.

Yes it’s the 2010 “5 speed”. Hmm that’s weird, well I’m glad I’m not the only one. I don’t have any clunking noise though. Was wondering if maybe it’s the spline in the driveshaft sticking.

It’s probably the driveshaft engaging, remember, the trans is having to move around 200 or so pounds of metal from a dead stop. I wouldn’t worry unless it gets worse.

I had an 88, and after that, a 99 Dakota. They both did the "Direction Change Clunk". But oddly enough, the 11 does not.

It never hurt anything. I always just chalked it up to: It's a Dodge.
