Hi All,
i have been trawling through the threads regarding this issue and wanted some clarficiation if i can.
I have a VZ Commodore Exec Sedan - 4sp Auto - 112,000kms - runs a dream except for an auto transmission thud/jerk from 1st - 2nd gear on a cold start. After couple kms of driving it goes away. has been there since about 90,000kms with the really cold mornings can throw you back in seat a little
Today I went to the effort not starting, towing around to auto trans mechanic, getting him to cold start and drive (i could have left overnight apart from my hours of work are 3-11pm) - his response was that it is worse he felt but related to the belt inside trans not getting enough fluid when cold and most like rebuild with $$$. better to just put up with it.
today I unplug the battery in an attempt to reset the computer?? but the same thud is still there no difference. My mechanic serviced the auto at 105,000kms with new gasket and better trans oil. levels are fine.
I do no thrash or drive the vehicle hard, with a mixture of city & country driving.
reading through this forum I have seen mention solenoid/pressure switches?? as there any more upto date or latest information for me to go by or would you recommend taking it somewhere else for a second opinion??
Appreciate your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
