Hi all,
I havent been around for some time now.
Did anyone encounter some sound in the automatic gearbox when performing a kick-down? Kind of like when you miss a gearshift in manual gearboxes.
Thanks a lot!

No, no gearbox kick-down sound and imo there shouldn't be any. It seems wrong and it would be a good time to check the dealer. Is it loud or bearly noticeable, does it do all the time? Sounds pretty serious...

Did this happen when you start to move slow then suddenly accelerate ?
I think its the zf transmission design issue.

this happen only in D mode
to avoid it
drive in DS or manual.

or change the transmission fluid. much safer that way, I don't believe any lubrication oil will last a life time.
