Gear changes when coming to a stop jerky

Post by Chrispy » Mon Sep 24, 2018 9:55 am

Hi guys,

Noticed the last week or so as I'm coming to a stop at a junction, usually when braking moderately hard and above that the gear changes from say 3rd downwards are quite harsh, and sometimes when actually coming to a stop the last change is almost like a thud, like something is "releasing".  It also sometimes feels like there's a hesitation when letting go of gentle throttle like when parking.

I've reset the transmission adaptation values but the issue persists.

Am I due an ATF fluid replacement for this or am I looking at something else?  I do wonder if I am heading into transfer case issues all the time after chancing it on non * marked tyres.  They measured up ok prior to fitting but I'm about to get the string out and measure them again.....

Cheers,

Chris.

What mileage has the car done.
A gearbox service will do no harm and could well sort your problem out.
I had mine done some weeks ago for no particular reason not having any problems and no clunky gear change.
I didn't expect any change just did it because i don't know if/when it had been done and car on 160k.
Well it is so smooooooooth now that is all i can say.
