Back again guys. VY Berlina V6. Just ticked over to 300,000km.
Car is still running fairly rough. If I accelerate gently it’s not too bad. But it I try to give it a bit, a rough vibration occurs. Carries on quite a bit when accelerating. And overall the car runs a bit sluggish while in 4th.

And car still misses when hitting 60km at 2500rpm. Jumps to about 3000-3500rpm. Mechanic seems to think its getting stuck in gear and/or jumping out of gear.

Any idea what it could be? Injectors? Fuel filter? Losing gears? Is the trans about to sh*t itself ?

i say get a service on engine , spark plugs and leads , coils and dfi module , change fuel filter and air filter, clean MAF sensor with MAF cleaner spray can , put 2 bottles of injector cleaner in fuel tank , get mechanic to check throttle position sensor and clean IAC Assembly , maybe change engine oil and filter. then if engine runs ok but still accelerates jerkily with bad gear changes , then get transmission serviced . problem can be a combination of things . that mechanic you went to should have been able to give you an idea what was wrong . cheers mate.
