Description of the problem | Under acceleration from a stop (either straight line or making a right hand turn) the rpms increase before the vehicle responds. When it does, the vehicle lunges forward unpredictably. During manual shifting and braking (while in motion) the rpms shoot up to before transmission engages 4th gear when downshifting from 5th causing a momentary freewheeling scenario. During acceleration from about 10-15 mph the vehicle once again increases rpms and then lunges forward. The vehicle performs hard shifting between gears while in motion. At freeway speeds the transmission may not downshift/ respond or accelerate for 3-4 seconds. When reversing the the same lunging scenario occurs however it is less predicable as reverse gear is taller. Overall performance is sporadic and unpredictable. |
