| Description of the problem | The 7 speed transmission shifts very hard from 1 gear to 2 gear to 3 gear. From 3 gear all the way to 7 gear is very smooth. Also the same way around when you downshift from 3 gear to 2 gear to 1 gear. The slowing down is very harsh and it looks like the transmission doesn't understand that the car is going to a full stop. All the power and speed cut down a few seconds before full stop. I have personally tried to do the reset with key and pedal trick but it only works for a day or two and goes right back to the rough shifting. |
