***VX*R8*** Member 202 Member For: 10y 11m 4d Gender: Male Posted 10/02/14 05:03 AM Share Posted 10/02/14 05:03 AM Hi,I own a 2011 G6E Turbo with about 80,000kms and was wondering if it's normal for the transmission (ZF) to hold revs after giving it a bit in normal Drive mode?I know it does this in Power Drive mode but unsure if it's supposed to in normal [D]The car is standard besides K&N filter. No tune etc.I've noticed it happen a couple of times now after giving it a bit and then backing off at about 3500-4000rpm it will just hold the gear/revs for about 3-4 seconds. The car is still under warranty and I don't believe it's had an AT fluid change.I do plan on a fluid change and flush with LG6 ($$$ $$$) after the warranty period expires.Thankyou.

So to avoid it I don't completely back off I just lightly keep my foot on the accelerator and the transmission shifts to a higher gear . But I never usually even notice it because any time I accelerate hard I shift manually and just grab a higher gear just as I go to back off and it makes driving a lot smoother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only autos I've had before were Expensive Daewoo 4spds and they didn't do that at all.Thanks for the reply Edited 10/02/14 06:50 AM by ***VX*R8*** 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for when your lazy and dont want to shift manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
