Since tranny change,

Car now goes forward and doesn't lose drive

The changes are all fine, including 3-4 under light driving, however when giving it large say on overtaking, and then backing off, the final 3-4 change is quite jerky

Solenoid? The 1-2 change is perfect tho, and I think this solenoid is shared?

ATF new, sumps clean, thrust washer intact.

Opinions welcome

Are you used to the less refined 3.2's TCM, compared to the superior 3.0l setup?

[JamesV6CDX]

It's a 3.0 car, all factory original, the box was from a '02 3.2 v6

Does that help?

[TheBoy]

I should add, that 129mph change from redline 3rd to 4th is awful if you lift off and reapply power. As is the 85mph 2nd-3rd, just not quite as pronounced

Ah, should be reasonable then. Can still force a (what we call) lag, but not as much as 3.2. If LPG comes in to equation, that makes it worse

No LPG on this one, just petrol

I'm thinking solenoid issue

I noticed from you wanted post. Not convinced currently, as TCM would flag it

I shall double check all codes and data - are you thinking mechanical issue then?

Why does James have so much agro with autos? 

Touch wood, but never seen a fault with an auto beyond thumpy changes cured with a fluid change.

Got live data on the box? Thought 3-4 was replaceable. Tbh.

TB, you did 129mph in 3rd  Where on Earth were you able to achieve this? Autobahn???

Redline 3rd to 4th is a shade under 130mph.

Heyford's runway is a long one

Good stuff. I've never heard anyone getting their Omega close to top speed (only because I've never asked).

What did it feel like going that fast in it?

1-2 solenoid also controls 3-4/4-3 shift so given you say the 1-2 change is OK it`s doubtful that the solenoid would be at fault

Why does James have so much agro with gearboxes? 

Fixed...

Shockingly smooth and quiet....
