Hi All,
I've been experiencing a few issues with the auto in my car over the past couple of weeks. When I accelerate enough to make the auto shift down to second gear, the auto shifts out of the gear it is in and the revs seem to increase somewhat, and then it sort of jolts into gear at a lower rpm and continues accelerating as per normal. I was in 3rd gear this afternoon doing about 80 km/h and I had to overtake someone, the auto shifted, but the revs increased to 4000rpm, and then dropped back to 3500rpm. This doesn't happen every time I make the auto downshift. Going from overdrive to 3rd is usually fine, but it seems most prevalent going from overdrive to 2nd, or 3rd to 2nd gear. The parent's car had the same problem, altho the trans was doing it every time you downshifted to 2nd gear, and we had the downshift solenoid replaced, at 50,000kms. Could it be the same thing beginning to fail in my car?
Car has done 175,000kms, and the auto fluid and strainer was changed at 160,000kms.
Any advice appreciated
