I just got my C a couple days ago. I have noticed a shudder when I use reverse - it is very short duration, and always makes me think I have hit something. Seems to happen when the car is cold and I am leaving my garage. Is this a typical cvt thing or do I need to get it into the shop?

thanks,

ICE - Internal Combustion Engine (aka the gas engine)

The ICE will start-up at some point - it COULD be the "shudder" you feel.

Reverse is fully electric in the Prius.
