Hello everybody.
Please, can anyone out there help me with this?
When shifting to reverse, my car does it very harshly. The engine revs
fall abruptly from about 850 to 500, then it goes up to about 700. Also
it takes about 5 seconds to engage when shifted to drive. I have to
shift to 1 to have it engage immediately. Once in drive it shifts normally.
Engine and transmission mounts are new.
Is my transmission in very bad condition, or is there somewhere else I
have to check in the engine?
It had a very erratic and misadjusted idle, but solved it cleaning the
BPT and the tubes that connect it to the EGR. Also cleaned the thottle
body. Now the engine idles according to specs and is stable. However,
the way it engages the reverse, it is quite bad.
I have searched the net for a few days with no encouraging or optimistic
answers.
Please, please, help me.
