- 2006 sv6 commodore
Hi Guys (and girls)
Just new to the forum and hoping for some help
Bought my 2006 sv6 (3.6ltr) about 8 months ago. It was the last of the series apparently (5 speed auto)
What i am finding now is fairly strange and hard to explain but i'll try.
At work when i pull into the carpark the road is on a very slight decline, i take my foot off the throttle and let it coast, while coasting i can feel the gearbox dropping down to 1st gear then back to second with a definite "clunk" noise, it does this up and down thing till i stop.
On the open road it's fine, no problem kicking down to overtake etc.
The dealer is saying that most likely it will be the kickdown switch but going from past experience with the dealer he may be wrong and try to charge me anyway.
Has anyone had this problem before?
Many thanks
