Phaeton :: Slight Hesitation When Changing Gear From 1 To 2 And Noticeable From 2 To 3
Phaeton 3.0 tdi ... For some time i have been noticing that the car has a slight hesitation when changing gear from 1 to 2 and barely noticeable from 2 to 3, but as the car gets warmer the hesitation becomes shorter, I don't know if it really is a hesitation , it mostly feels at light acceleration before the oil gets to operating temperature and feels like it slips for like a half second before engages second gear , but as the car warms up it gets better , the car has about 230.000 km , since i bought it i put 50.000 km and did not change the transmission fluid and i guess that before me no one changed it, VW says that the atf should not be changed and many people say that it could make it worse, what the problem is and should I change the Transmission fluid ?
View 13 RepliesGolf/GTI VII :: Faint Thump Noise When Changing Gears From 1st To 2nd And 2nd To 3rd
2015 GTI, 6sp, Coupe, 3000km.
When changing gears from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd, I get this faint THUMP thump noise coming from what seems to be the driver side foot well area, on the other side of the firewall.
Other ways to replicate is by simply clutching in as if changing gears, but not actually shifting. It can be prevented by shifting/accelerating very slowly (not practical).
Nothing can be felt in the clutch pedal OR the shifter. Can't be replicated in neutral, or by simply letting off the gas under boost. ONLY when the clutch is engaged about 2.5k RPM in 1st, and 2nd.
What it could be. Dogbone bushings? Engine mount? Gerbils? Also, went to dealer and they said it wasn't "enough" for them to start pulling stuff apart. Was told to wait until it gets worse.
Dodge - Dakota :: 2002 - Sloppy Shifting / Heavy Thump Changing Gears When Slowing
Last year, July, replaced Trans.modulator..All went well. Now..sloppy shifting, occasion heavy thump changing gears when slowing. Trans. people say All good according to their programs.....but they also feel the same problems. Its an internal problem, they say, too expensive to tear down.Drive it until it dies. ( 161 K on the odometer.....otherwise is perfect. I want to do a flush, then drop the pan, change the screens, tighten the bands and replace Trans. fluid.
View 1 RepliesPhaeton :: Occasional Thump In Front Suspension
I have an occasional thump in the front suspension that seems related to road irregularities and I presumed there might be a bushing or tie rod end or ball joint causing it. It's not metal to metal and is not a cornering thing, just going straight down the road it can happen.
My mechanic looked over the front end and nothing was obviously bad, and he concluded that it was the shock mount at the top of one of the shocks and that sounded right to me. So we looked into it and were surprised to find that there was no shock mount. The air shock seems to be an all-in-one design that just bolts to the top of the wheel well.
So, this thunk, if it is coming from the shock can only be fixed by the replacement of the shock, is that the case? Better yet, could it be something else?
Ford Transmission :: 2003 F150 - Difficult To Put In First Gear / Little Grind Or Thump?
I just got my 03 F-150 with 112k on the clock. It has the manual 5 speed tranny behind the 4.6L.
However, since I've gotten the truck, it's kind of difficult to put in first gear. If you are sitting at a light and in neutral and the light changes and you push the clutch to the floor and put it in 1st (fairly quickly - a normal reaction time), it will actually do a little grind and/or thump. However, if push the clutch to the floor and wait a couple of seconds and then shift into first, it's a bit of a "push" but it will go in without grinding.
Once in a while shifting to 3rd it feels the same way, but won't really grind.
I'm just wondering if that means the clutch is toast or is it the trans that is toast? Reason I ask is my 96 Cobra with the T-45 5 speed would grind going into 5th gear if I just normally put it in. I used to have to put it in neutral and then push the clutch in again and slowly shift to 5th for it not to grind. And it wouldn't go into 3rd if I tried to shift fast or under power. I replaced the clutch and found out the trans was actually going bad, but it had 173k on the clock.
So, I'm really paranoid that it's my darn trans in the truck instead of just the clutch. Whenever my old Camaro clutches used to be dying, they would slip more than they would ever grind going into a gear.
Elantra XD (2001-06) :: Loud Thump When Go From Park To Reverse / Car Stuck In High Gear
What can I do about my car it's not shifting, it's stuck in high gear and when I go from park to reverse it makes a loud thump. The check engine light came on and the codes are transmission control module it's a 2006 and only has 30,000 miles on it. It's hard to believe it's the brain so we changed the fluid and cleaned the sylinoids but then when I drove it around the block I put it in reverse it didn't make the loud noise and it shifted fine for a minute before I got around the block and almost home it made a loud banging noise and went back to not shifting again. What the problem could be.
View 5 RepliesElantra XD (2001-06) :: Engine Light While Driving And 2nd Gear Taking Time Shifting - Thump On Transmission
O.K. first of all I had an issue with the Odometer pointer being jumpy. Sometimes it wouldn't move. Now I replaced the input sensor at first and did not fix the problem. I replaced the output sensor and fixed it. "BUT", Now, I have a problem with the transmission shifting. I get an engine light while driving and the 2nd gear seems to take its time shifting and when it does it make the left side drive shaft kick in hard and spends my wheel to a screeching effect. Plus a thump on the transmission. I rechecked the sensor for connection and reinstalled. Drove the car still have the same issue?

I'd like to try some "mixing of interior parts", that's why I'd like to get this wooden part around the shifter in the middle console out to change it into another color! The console, the cupholders stay in old look, but ashtray cover, ZAB, and the part around the shifter will change....if I find out how?
View 2 RepliesPhaeton :: Changing Front Turning Signal Bulbs To LED
I thought it would look much cooler if the front turning signal light bulbs are LED bulbs. So I bought two, took the original bulbs out and put the LED ones in. It fitted perfectly but they do not light up. Don't exactly know why but I believe it's because the poles are reversed. Is there anyway to get it working?

I would like to upgrade my rims, from originally 18 inch Champion to the Omanyt, but I once heard that it is necessary to change the wheel alignment (german: spur and sturz) if you want to use the 19 inch VW Omanyt (ET40 255/40 R19) rims on Phaetons that were shipped with 18 inch wheels. Is this correct?
View 4 RepliesTouareg :: Thumping Noise When Changing Gear
Experienced a thumping noise when changing gear (automatic gearing). FOr eg. when i change from P to R or even D, there's a thumping noise which i think comes from either the gearbox or the diff. either way, sometimes the thumping noise is there and some other times, its gone.
I've only done around 1500 kms since new and if there's no solution, i'll just take it to the dealer and get it diagnosed.

View 1 RepliesAccord :: 2001 Transmission - Car Sometimes Surges When Changing Into 3rd Gear
I am driving an 01 Accord Coupe as a trial from a family member before I decide to purchase. I am hoping to upgrade from my 91 Celica that has some strange transmission issues. Having said that, I am worried about the Accord's tranny, and I guess I am being paranoid!
When changing into 3rd gear, the car sometimes "surges" into it. It usually happens when I first start driving it, perhaps the second or third time it changes into the gear after being started up and driven. It's not for very long, perhaps half a second, and it's not a lunging type of surge, but I guess I am a bit gunshy right now. Don't want to trade one set of tranny issues for another.
It has 130,000 miles on it. My family member bought it off of someone else. They have owned it for about 2 years, but didn't drive it very often at all. I need it for a daily commuter (2+ hours a day.) I am not sure if the transmission has ever been serviced (fluid changed, etc.)
Golf VI R :: Revs Slow To Drop When Changing Gear
I just picked up my new R (Rising Blue 2 Door w/ S-Roof & Nav) yesterday and love it, except for one thing. When accelerating and changing up through the gears, the revs seem very slow to drop after lifting off the gas and dipping the clutch to select the next gear. It is like there is a delay between me lifting off and the instruction getting to the engine.
View 6 RepliesSonata NF (2006-10) :: Lack Of Power After Changing From Second To Third Gear
I was measured 0-60 time and the best result with GPS was 11.4, and that is pretty disappointing. Also noticed that after changing from second to third gear while pushing to the read line on full throttle it have about 1 second delay without power, then starts to pull again!? Is this normal?
It is '2006 sonata with 2.4 160hp, everything with car is ok but from the first time I bought it (8 months ago) it just feels sluggish.
I found on carfolio that 0-60 time for that car is 8.8 seconds, and mine is 30% slower... that is too much! Also from the first time have problem with starting in 1st gear, it is almost unusable because it is syper sensitive on foot, is this normal?
