No more jerking?

Post by Estiee »

I have added tranny cooler and the famous 1st to second gear jerk that is found on our 30xs has vanished :|

Should i be worried or have i mysteriously fixed something...?

Did you do a fluid/filter change when you did this?

That can fix it if the filter was gettng clogged.

I changed the filter and fluid a fair while back now so i dont think that may be it.

Only possible explanation that i can think of would be the old cooler was blocked and flowed slow, allowing the trany to reach some heat point with which it jerked.

Now with near new V6 Magna cooler it gets cooled down and allows the trany to operate at designed manner.

But then again i could be wrong so anyone with similar experience is more than welcome to add in :)
