Guys,

Had a little 'fun' the other day, just testing the disabling of traction control and kick down ferocity... There is a rather nicely cambered roundabout close to where I live, two lanes and good surface. So I give it a little right foot (to the floor) let the **** hang out just a little and swing it up the road....

Now the box kicked down nicely but seemed to stay in a low gear (5500 rpm at 65-70) for an extraordinarily long time. It seemed that the box did not want to shift up... Eventually it did. It was in sport mode, and I left the shifter in drive.

I have not been able to replicate the effect... No warnings.... No codes... I'm thinking the fluid may be low but I'm getting no slipping or surging.

Perhaps I should not 'hoon' but I'm sure the Jag had a big grin where the grille normally sits.

Any ideas????

Cheers,

 

Ha, roundabouts in Canberra, take your pick.

No idea of kms travelled, nut I reckon a fluid drop and refresh will certainly do NO harm.

The upshift delay may be a surge in fluid from the "G Forces" or whatever its called. Should not happen. I know, but maybe.

 

Consider a fluid change perhaps?

Has it been done at all?

You have a few miles on the clock so well worth checking
