vr v6 auto reving real high before changing gear? almost like its slipping? :/

[oldmatejoe]

Hey just bought a vr calais v6 auto. when driving slow changes gear fine but revs are a little high before it changes. but when putting my foot down it revs off its head (sounds like hits rev limiter) then changes gear after? Fingers crossed it isnt buggerd! Help!!

 

[oldmatejoe]

But it still picks up speed. doesnt just slip. its only oangence it gets up speed then revs strange then changes gear

Not real sure but they possibly have an adjustable kick down cable like the vn, or do u mean the trans slips?

 

[oldmatejoe]

Its not a kick down issue i dont think. when i put my foot down it drives good then revs higher then it should makes a noise like rev limiter then changes to the next gear. sorry for bad info im on my phone lol

Mayb try giving the trans a basic service (filter n fluid) and see how it goes from there!

Hav u tried adjusting kick down?

The VR gearbox is electronic; it has no cable to adjust.

No worries mate, wasn't 100% on it

Try servicing the trans as a starting point, you would be surprised how many times that fixes these sorts of issues.

also use a bottle of Lucas Oil stop slip when you do your service...this will help (I put it in all my cars from new, great stuff)

What gear does it do it in? My car will hit the limiter in 1st if i give in the beans from stand still or if im just putting along at 40kmph then plant my foot.
Have you moded the car at all?
