- VS Executive II v6 3.8L
You will have to forgive me im a complete newbie with cars, my problem is I just bought an Auto VS V6 and the gear change timings seem very weird. When i am in economical mode and i put my foot right to the floor it revs very high before changing gears however if i take my foot of the accelerator at about 2500-3000 revs it changes just fine as if im pushing the engine to hard for it to change. When in power mode this happens far less (the gears appear to change far more aggressively) but it still sometimes does the same thing and just generally feels like the gear box is all over the place but its almost always smooth with maybe a slight jolt moving from 1-2 but nothing that seems unusual. I have driven a number of FORD automatics and have never seen this lag in timings is this just a HOLDEN thing? I recently had it serviced and a lot of work done and he made no comment on this at all (forgot to ask). If this is normal would a performance ECU make things better? Seems there is a lot of stage/level four's (whatever that means) going for about $100.
