Hi SUVord
hard shifting in my case is more of abrupt shifting. when starting from stop with average force on the accelerator, it'll start and rev up to almost 3000rpm and then a jerk when shifting to the next gear. I usually lift up slightly on the accelerator after the initial press in order for it to shift smoothly. Everytime i try to accelerate gently I'll most certainly encounter this problem.
when its traveling on the road and it starts to go uphill, it'll first lose speed first (about 5km/h if at 60km/h) before it downshift a gear with a slightly longer jerk. (this could be normal for the 2.3l engine?)
and oh, if no ATF change was done before up to 85000kms (all log book service records so far, no mention of ATF). flushing is strongly not recommended I presume?
thanks!
