Can shifting from P to R be made a bit smoother

[Nikhil Malhotra]

When i shift from P to R (reverse) , i feel its a bit hard on my car.
Maybe i am not still used to the shift . The move from R to D (drive mode) is very easy .

Can the shift lever be made smooth ? Anyone experience this or is something wrong with my car.

Sure it can be made smoother. It is supposed to be. You may want to ask a tranny guy about it. Hopefully it is a simple linkage adjustment.

Keep in mind that if you park on an incline, it will always be a harsh shift out of park. I always engage Parking Break before the shifter goes to P. Then, when I shift out of P, it is always smooth.

I have to schedule a service this week for the service department to look at the shift issue.
