"The Lurch" does any of the tranny updates fix it?

[MADT]

Mine is a mechanical change not electronic so I would be confident that it wont change, however I agree with you.

Bare the thought though that I only changed the oil at the suggestion of another member who had EXACTLY the same problem, only worse, and this fixed it for him!!!

UPDATE

Just wacked another 250+ kms on the car and still good! One in 50 stops you might feel a very very slight lurch! Nothing like before!

Hi D, good to talk to you the other day and also to hear the new oil has done the job, you know its almost as frustrating waiting for the lurch that does'nt come as getting it, it took me a couple of months to stop thinking about it everytime I stopped. Happy driving. Regards G.

Well, I read this entire thread and it has been 2 months since this update, so I kinda want to know how your transmission is doing......

[MADT]

No more lurch!

Good to know. Thanks for the update. Hopefully you will still be lurch free on your next update.

MADT is it time for another update?

I am about to do this as well. Ordered 12 quarts of zf lifeguard fluid. Going to change filter, and whatever oil comes out. After that, only drain and fill for the next 50k miles. Well hopefully the tranny won't explode after the change.

MADT, care to tell us your steps when changing the fluid. Thanks.

[MADT]

Had it flushed to ensure most of the old fluid was out

[SlickGT1]

what was your mileage when you did it. Thanks.
