Omega General Help / HAS ANYONE HAD THIS PROBLEM

« on: 14 May 2012, 23:09:40 »

looking for feedback from anyone who has ever experienced these faults with a autobox,

surely im not the only one to have this problem ar25 auto box


i need to point out that the fluid was fully replaced within the last 48 hours

when the fluid was taken out iirc there was approx 4.5ltrs when it was refilled i think 6.5ltrs went

in..therefore it was clearly low


the firmware in the box is fully up to date within the last 48 hours

the car is a 2.2cd petrol with 53 on the clock


i need to point out that the 2 faults were there before the atf was change and updates were done.

and it is not the gear selector on the side of box.

there are no fault codes at all i am fully clean (no eml)

and here is the prob.....

(1)going along 20 mph ,foot lightly on throttle..lift it off and then(thud) a kick in the back...(feels like you

have just been hit from behind..IE (slight hit)

(2)going along 20mph foot lightly on throttle....then suddenly car revs like it has just had clutch dipped,
take your foot off gas pedal and all is normal again(but its a auto)

HAS ANYONE EVER HAD ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS......
