lawser Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Folks, I have a 1.6i auto , recently changed the gearbox oil & now the gearchange has become really erratic. When accelerating it is slow for a start with high revs from standing take off and it takes off with a vibration that wasn't there before, it seems to hold onto the revs for too long when accelerating at speed, in other words it revs very high before kicking down to overtake Any help appreciated ? lawser Quote
lawser Posted August 28, 2009 Author Posted August 28, 2009 OK, so no one has an automatic ! <_< Can anyone tell me if there is a difference between using Comma AQM ( Dexron11 ) transmission fluid and Dexron ATF ? Perhaps i am using the wrong fluid ? lawser :unsure: Folks, I have a 1.6i auto , recently changed the gearbox oil & now the gearchange has become really erratic.

patt Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 Hi, I imagine you checked the oil level carefully after refilling it? If in doubt, the handbook will tell you how as the level varies between hot and cold and also whether the engine is running. For example, the level is much higher when the engine has been stopped for a while. It is usual to have the engine warm and idling when checking. There should be no immediate difference in running with a different oil, but stick to the recommendation. Quote
