Gear Problem

[gadi]

Hi Guys,

My 75 2.5 Connoisseur Automatic has a problem the main dealer hasn't managed to work out...Ever so often, especially after the car has been traveling for a while with many gear changes (urban driving), the lower gear changes become jerky with a fairly violent kick to them. this doesn't seem to be so accute in the higher gears. The dealer ran a computer diagnostic that showed up nothing, so did a an auto gear specialist! As I said this is an intermitent yet very annoying problem ...has anyone any ideas? The car has done 75000miles.

Many thanks,

Gadi

Hi Gadi,

a similar problem has been posted some days ago in the german forum.
But the problem only appears when the engine is cold.
Unfortunately nobody has a solution so far.
It was assumed that the automatic gear oil level may be low.

Regards

me thinks it could be a pressure relief/sensing valve??
has the gearbox oil been changed?

I don't seem to be able to register but this is Timmo. I may be speaking the obvious but lower gears tend to produce more jerking because of the lower ratios and so the problem may be equal in all gears, if you understand what I am trying to say. please advise if/when problem fixed

Hi Gadi,

do you know if it is possible to buy parts of the gearbox in U.K..
I have problems with the Synchron.ring in the gear box and my dealer told me that I could only buy a complete gear box (nearly 3.500 ?).
Please let me know if you can help me.

Couldn´t help you with your problem, sorry
