| Message: | | Hi all....hope someone can help with a couple of transmission issues I have. My car is going in to have the dreaded "lurch" fixed (ie when gentle breaking to a halt, you get a jolt or lurch just before coming to a halt and then again when gently accelerating away again) and this is a know problem and involves reprogramming the transmission control unit and ecu. Also, however, I get an intermittant "hunting" or jerkiness when on part throttle around 30-40 mph as the car revs rise and fall quite quickly and this can be felt through the whole car as a "rocking" backwards and forwards (not violently, but noticeable). A friend also had this on his 4.2 XK8, so its a 6 speed transmission problem, not an engine issue, I presume, as my car is a 4.2 XKR. The only other issue I have is that when I fill the windscreen(or windshield!) reservoir to the top, the fluid in the pipe between the top and the actual bottle just leaks out all over the floor...again, any ideas, please. Anyone else that has the "lurching" or jolt problem, then take a look at this post from another forum from someone who has had no end of problems and has done some excellent research on the problem..... http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/gassing/topic.asp?p=1&f=85&t=150489&h=0 ... the fix is mentioned 3/4 way down page 2.... Thanks and I hope someone can help with the "hunting" question
