Help: There's a jerk when shifting the car into drive mode (2014)

Hello all!

I have a 2014 Maxima with 136k kms that I recently bought used. It had 131k km when I bought the car. It was maintained at the dealer till 100k km and outside since.

Now my issue is when putting the car from park to drive or neutral to drive there's a jerk in the car. It's not a lot but it's very noticeable. Is this normal/how the car normally responds? This is the first CVT I've owned.

thanks,

mrDXB

Could be engine or transmission mounts, axles or control arm. Does it happen more on cold starts?
Check transmission fluid level too.

Not to mention cvt fluid service. That can be beneficial if it hasn't been done yet.
