Autobox Gear changes
Thought I'd create a new post to see if I can get anymore feedback
On my V6 I had a noticable jerk when accelerating hard and autobox changing between 2nd and 3rd I believe (on smooth acceleration this was not evident) so I changed the teardrop mount 2 years ago but the issue did not seem to get resolved. So last year I got Lates to fit a new hydramount unfortunately this didn't fit as it was too long I was told and they fitted a used one kicking around that was better then mine but of another car. I also had the 2/4 duty soleniod changed. Now this did help a bit so I don't feel the ackward jolt when accelerating but still the box was not smooth under hard acceleration. I have another new hydromount to fit in a few weeks time but wonder if any other mounts need changing? I would also say I notice a jolt when braking and I feel the autobox changing down to match the engine speed. Anybody had a similar experience, it spoils what is a nice ride in my V6. All assistance gratefully recieved. Stubie Last edited by STUBIE; 24th March 2021 at 15:25.. |

The obvious next question Stubie is: did you use N402 spec. fluid?

Thanks Stuart, it's good to get that out of the way!
I have two suggestions for you.
The moral is, don't assume that there's something wrong with the gearbox. You might like to try the gearbox connector. I think it's the barrel shaped one at the wing near the battery. Simon

Also always worth checking the fluid level, the first sign I had of minor fluid loss (due to the pan rusting through) was changes becoming harsher - but not excessively so.
