Why does the Honda City’s transmission feel rough o r jerky during gear shifts?

Some owners complain about jerky gear shifts, especially in the manual variant of the Honda City. What are the possible reasons behind this rough transmission performance? Could it be due to clutch wear, transmission fluid issues, o r another mechanical fault?

Manual Variants: Jerky shifts could indicate:

Clutch Wear: If the clutch is worn, it can cause difficulty in smooth engagement of gears, leading to jerky o r rough shifts.
Low Transmission Fluid: If the transmission fluid is low o r dirty, it can cause inadequate lubrication of the gears, resulting in hard o r jerky shifting.
Faulty Synchronizers: In manual transmissions, if the synchronizer rings are worn o r damaged, they can cause difficult gear shifts.

Automatic Variants: In Prosmatec models, jerky shifts could point to problems with the CVT belt, worn-out transmission fluid, o r transmission control issues.
