Gear Trouble

[Sidshk]

Hi to all 

Recently i have noticed there is drag in gear change in my Pajero 2008 LWB specially from 1 to 2 and sometime there is push while auto shift.

Need some advice before i go to mechanic.

Cheers

Last year i have changed but only oil as per mechanic Filter was ok

How many kms on the 10 year old Pajero's odometer, buddy?
How often was the ATF changed?

[shadow79]

how much was it driven prior to being changed and how much you have driven since the change...like in how many kms you do the atf change...?

[Sidshk]

Total Kms 194000 on ODO  , Since change i might have driven 10000 KM

My non-techy advise: you should always change the oil and filter together as a rule of thumb - be it gear oil or engine oil so that the oil contamination chances are completely over-ruled.

I have read it online, that in some military vehicles where oil supply is scarce to reach, they change the oil filter and still use the same oil for some more kms without an issue. So the bottom line is you can still get away by reusing old oil but not filter.

so you changed it the first time when it was 184000 ..? 

was pretty late change you  should not have bothered to change it after it crossed 120k

No idea when the last owned changed the oil, but the bottom line is what may be the issue with gear for such a abnormality

Just for info i m having these issued since last week  

[shadow79]

you should have asked the last owner if he had it changed on regular basis

 gear being stuck or taking above 2k rpms for shift is usually the oil level low or the particular valve body solenoid getting stuck because of clutch /bearing/dirt particles getting in the way or even electricity problem in the wiring or the solenoide itself but that usually sets out a code in the latter cases

get the oil level checked if less use approved atf oil and if you have a d light blinking or check engine light on then also get it scanned...

proper inspection will shed some light on whats wrong... @Barry what do you say...?
