Kickdown woes

Is it normal for kickdown to be a little erratic? Sometimes I floor the pedal and I get a nice smooth change and hustle forwards, others I get a big delay a bit of hunting and a gear change that feels like a dog box with clutch issues? I've now got the fear that a big bill is on its way ...

I'm guessing that this is normal then from the lack of responses vs views?

your 'viewers' either dont kickdown or havnt noticed whilst driving so they cant comment... ... - .- -.

Aye, sorry for that. Just rather worried as it's getting especially violent at the moment. I have resorted to using command-shift if I need to.

Apologies for any offence caused by my impatience.

Its not really normal allseeing. Mine is instant all the time,that said my box was done last year so i would expect it to be good.

Maybe a box flush out is worth considering. If it works it has saved you a shed load of cash,if not then its bite the bullet time. Thumbs Up

I experienced kickdown taking progressively longer to actually kick down or some "hunting" before I drove out to Switzerland this year (where the low pressure fuel pump died) - so it's not necessarily a gear box issue! My advice is not to ignore it however (which I did for a week) ... Big Cry
