| Description of the problem | Ive been experiencing what other people on kia forums has labeled as hard shifting since november of 2017. When i start driving the car jerks really hard in between 1-2 rpm or when it's shifting. It's not the transmission fluid and it may be the heat temp sensor but i don't know. |
