Space Ace Member 446 Member For: 21y 8m 9d Location: Melbourne, Victoria Posted 10/02/05 02:18 AM Posted 10/02/05 02:18 AM I noticed yesterday while I was cruising under 30kays (thanks to the traffic on Citylink) that 1st gear has a slight jolt to it when going at snails pace. Is this a common thing?

I'll be taking it in for its 3000k service in about a month. If its still evident I'll try and get the dealer to fix it - we'll see how good their after sales dept is? If not, I'll just hammer the thing and not cruise under 30kays.
