I've got a vr v8 calias with a worked auto stage 2 shift kit beast drum new torque convertor full clutch kit with new solinoids etc. Fully rebuilt front end I had all this worked done professenally paid $2.500 for the first rebuild which last 2 years. Warrenty was out before i broke it again so I ended up paying another $2.000 for new clutch's and another torque'y. Now I've got another problem...
Here's the thing I can't even explain the weird **** it's doing to the mechanic he just looks at me like I'm on meth and goes it didn't play up me?? He obviassly didn't drive it far enough to fault but he knows the work he done isn't the cause so I'm up **** creek with all this money put into this tranny and no one wants to touch it?
Its holding gears until high revs. BUT (75% of the time yal jump in the car and it will be fine? Head f@#k).
It will hold 1st until about 5.5 rpm than it will slam into 2nd hard and fast, same with 3rd when in 4th ill put the foot down and it won't kick down automatically like it should, it will when you hit the brake but than once you take off same thing occurs.
It doesn't do it when it's hot or cold particularly just when it feels like it. I have a quad core radiator no shortage of cooling its not over heating or to cold but I'm guessing there is other damage done to cause the problem.
If use has any pointers let us know.
When It was last serviced (2 weeks ago) there where no fault codes. No metal or clutch material in the oil the problem didn't sound familiar at all to the machanic.
