Question for the Diesel users out there...
How low does your car rev before it shift up? I'm talking about when you drive around in lower speeds like 30-40 mph / 40-70 km/h.
My car can go as low as just below 1000 rpm, and when I gently try to accelerate, the car "shivers" a little bit before it shifts up. If I step on it, it upshift with no problem.
I'm not shure if it's the transmission or the engine that has a problem. I have just got my tranny flushed ( 8 BAR hi pressure inside washing), since I'v also had other issues with it. First it only made a shiver when trying to upshift from the upper gears (6/7), but lately it has also started with this in the lower gears and I don't remeber if the car revs lower now or not....
It was instantly a little better after the flushing, and they also add som cleaning stuff to the new oil, so I will anyways wait a little bit before I go to step of reparing the transmission mecanicly (probably the converter)
