Hi guys , just a quick one . Sometimes after a drive my car seems to tick over at low revs almost cutting out , then when i select drive it takes a second or two to go into first ,it does but seems to engage with a bit of a clunk .
Not all the time but now and again, any ideas ? [emoji848][emoji848]

Do you mean straight away, or after you've turned it off for 15/20 mins or so?
When i start it up again .[emoji848][emoji848]Quote:

Sounds like the standard 'feature'! These can be a little susceptible to heat soak so the initial 30s or so after restarting the temperature readings can be a bit off until the normal air flow through the system has cooled things to the ambient temperature again. The gearbox might be linked if that's the only time it clunks a bit into gear and is fine the rest of the time.Quote:

Could be the first sign that the ATF needs replacing? How's the fluid level and condition look?Quote:

if the engine rpm is very low then the gearbox oil pump might not be developing much pressure with the hot oil - this would give poor engagement also old oil would exacerbate this.
Looks red ish [emoji849][emoji849], its due a service soon so a change won't do it any harm ,[emoji106][emoji106]

I changed the idle point in the ECU .
Because as standard the idle out of gear. Is different to the idle in gear value.
One is set to 600rpm and one is set to 650rpm. I think it is the in gear idle set to 600rpm which was to low on my car. Setting it to 650rpm was good for me.
I changed it because 600rpm set up a resonant frequency vibration in my car and I wanted to get rid of that.
That fluid looks quite dark - it should be bright red!
Definitely get it changed, do a full flush with around 12-14 litres of Amsoil, pull the battery off so that the ECU will re-learn the new shifting points with the fresh new fluid, and it should be better!
Thanks for that [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]Quote:
