What to do if the automatic gearbox in our car vibrates

Model: Toyota Corolla MK 3 - Years 2006-2013
Part: Transmission

In this video, see what to do if the automatic gearbox in your car jerks or slips. Turn on the ignition, set the lever to "N" with your foot on the brake, and wait a couple of minutes. While keeping your foot on the brake, switch to "D" and wait another two minutes. Then set it to "P", turn off the engine, and restart. This procedure resets the transmission adaptations and may resolve issues with jerking, vibrations, or slow response. If the problem persists, check the oil level in the gearbox, and then look for any errors in the ECU with an OBD2 tool. If none of this works, you will need to take the vehicle to a garage, but up to this point, you won't have spent anything.
