Carmour 4th Gear October 22, 2012 Share October 22, 2012 Hi guys, my auto gearbox tends to jerk during gear shifts. It is very obvious when moving off after cold start, especially for down-shifting. After engine warms up, it gets alot smoother. What could be wrong? I just serviced my car last month, and workshop did not say anything is wrong. Then again, I did not specifically ask them to check the gearbox. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not pay that ws anything re service or flush atf. Ty made mistake ty sud rectify fr free. I wud not go there again. Either incompetent or dishonest. Maybe u can give a clue which ws.

Pandaeyes Neutral Newbie October 22, 2012 Share October 22, 2012 Is it a VW 7 spd DSG? It might be a selespeed gearbox too. Mine was like dat last time. Gave it up. Unresolvable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RageX 1st Gear October 22, 2012 Share October 22, 2012 Hi guys, my auto gearbox tends to jerk during gear shifts. It is very obvious when moving off after cold start, especially for down-shifting. After engine warms up, it gets alot smoother. What could be wrong? I just serviced my car last month, and workshop did not say anything is wrong. Then again, I did not specifically ask them to check the gearbox. I have experienced something similar, jerky on the very rare occasion during down-shifting. But its intermittent. Using a CVT gearbox. It is a sign that transmission is going to uplorry or is it a transmission fluid/filter issue? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmour 4th Gear October 22, 2012 Author Share October 22, 2012 Driving a 2006 E60. Pre-LCI, means not E-gear. When I mentioned that I just serviced the car, I meant that the workshop did not do anything to the transmission nor the ATF. So is it my ATF that needs changing? Or my gearbox already spoilt?

Hamburger Hypersonic October 22, 2012 Share October 22, 2012 It's the solenoid like thingy that comes with a pcb board and it's like 6 or 7 pcs of it. Autotrans need not come down. But filter all this will need to remove. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is your mileage? Most likely the solenoid of your gear box going to up lori soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asure7 1st Gear October 22, 2012 Share October 22, 2012 (edited) If E60, most likely is the mechatronics. V common problem... but wont up lorry lah.. mine like that for many years.. refuse to fix. Edited October 22, 2012 by Asure7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmour 4th Gear October 24, 2012 Author Share October 24, 2012 So the mechatronics refers to the solenoid like thingy? Any idea on the approximate cost of repairs? And this problem can wait? Cos if can, I will wait till next servicing to solve. Next servicing is probably 6 mths away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
