Hello all...new tranny through dealership installed last June/ July- stock AOA imported as a re-build from Germany.
So, what is now noted is a different animal from the older tranny - no slip and all rock solid with no oil leaks etc.
However, the big question is this: premature up-shifts that resemble a 'mule kick' when in drive and allowing car to go forward in almost idle in first gear with slight increase in speed on level or sloped surface- car lunges forward into second gear almost instantaneously- this may happen between 0 and 5 to 10 mph and then into third at 20-30 mph and if I don't accelerate it can go into 4th. even below 40 mph. Another scenario is upon normal acceleration or strong drive it performs more normally but this pre-mature 1st. to second is killing me...as I drive around a parking lot or up a driveway/ ramp etc. it is constantly kicking into second quite abruptly???
Say you are cruising looking for a parking space and in first gear/ it will constantly up-shift into 2nd. at very low speeds- under 5mph.
Is this a function of the TC??? Computer regulated- I am to make a stink at the dealership but want more info to feed them so that they don't deem it normal- the older tranny was nothing like this. Car is stock.
Any insight as usual is appreciated. Thanks
