Gear box issues with Automatic

Yorkshire Man · May 19, 2008

Hi, just a quick question...when I put my foot down to accelerate hard or up hill, it's like the gearbox can't find the gear and instead it rocks into a revving rhythm and doesn't get any faster. But if I ease off the accelerator and push it down slowly, it seems O.K. Any ideas/advice? Does it sound expensive!?

What vehicle/age/engine/auto or manual?

It sounds like you are talking about the operation of the kickdown on an autobox?? If you want this to function properly you need to keep your foot planted to the floor - it is tempting to lift off a little but don't do it.
