Hunting for 3rd when cold

[Mart]

Eh up,

not sure if this is a worry or not, but in the last couple of weeks i've noticed a little problem on start-up.

when I drive off with the engine stone cold, it changes through 1st and 2nd find, then skips and jumps hunting for 3rd for a second or so before getting it.

as the engine gets hot (and therefore the gearbox), the problem goes and changes are fine.

should I be worried that my gearbox is on its way out? or am I worrying about nothing.

if it helps i've recently had a full amsoil flush and ecu reset about 4 weeks ago.

cheers,

Martin

Nope. Mine always changes slowly when cold. It only takes two or three miles for it to warm though. It serves as a sensible reminder to take it easy before everything is warm!

Yep agree with Nick, sometimes get this with ours, nowt to worry about.

mines the same and it revs higher before it changes up. spot on when hot

Think of it this way, as an experienced mechanic friend of mine told me when I was moaning to him that my Cinq Sporting was a bit 'wooly' untill it had warmed up...

A bit silly, but I think there's quite a bit of truth in it! /Devil5
