Does this happen to you or does it go in smooth?CheersAdrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 30kph it was able to change down with in the rev range. Just when I first got the car I did it once and it went in smooth, now it has 1000 km and it felt as if the torque converter was slipping.

Not sure why it actually went down a gear because I thought the ZF had all the protective software in it. Was a total accident when playing around with tiptronic. I rushed the shifter into neutral as fast as possible. Didn't make a pretty sound though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
