- vz commodore berlina wagon
I have a belina station wagon, 63,476 on the clock. First thing in the morning when i take of for work Ive noticed the 1st to 2nd gear change is a little harsh, kinda locking in, it does not throw you back in the seat but I have noticed it only happens on occasions, when the Auto is cold .It only happens once and then it is ok after that.
I went to Holden and asked at the service desk just to try my luck. They have herd of the problem before and said it may be a split or worn rubber flange in the rear tailshaft somewhere causing the power transfer to the diff to be affected ? ( Book it in and we will have a look ).
I have read in the forums about other 4 speed VZ- VY autos with similar issues . I also have a VX 4 speed Auto and it never had a rough 1st to 2nd gear change. Is it common or a time bomb ready to go off? I have not made a decision whether to take it to holden for a futher investigation. Doesn't sound right what they said. Can anyone advise me as to which way I should go?
Thanks
Andrew
