Auto Kickdown
Posted: Mon May 30, 2011 11:42 am
Hi All
Was going around one of those big roundabouts where you can go 30/35mph, not too sure what gear it was in. The exit was on a slight up slope so accelerated a little, there was quite a noticable 'kick' quite hard really, when it went down a gear. Took my foot off the pedal and there was a much 'softer' kick when it went up a gear!!!
Yesterday going along the M25 we all had to brake quite suddenly (as you do), when we had nearly stopped (about 15-20mph) there was another noticeable feeling when it went back to first gear. If you go gentle on the pedal the kick down problem does'nt happed, or on the slowing down. The kickdown problem was a little alarming though!!
Normal driving is perfect. Just been serviced. All oils OK. Any ideas boys and girls??? Thanks
