1st to 2nd gear kick

[peterniez]

Greetings, I am wondering if someone can help me out with an issue I am having..

2012 LR4 V8

The car has a kick going from 1st to 2nd gear, most of the time its a small kick and sometimes its more noticeable... and sometimes it shifts just fine.
This is going from a stop at moderate acceleration.
When I accelerate really slowly, it shifts fine into 2nd.
When I step on it, it shifts fine.
When I shift manually (using the sifter -/+), I can get it to shift fine

What could be the the issue? did anyone experience this or have some insight?
thanks for your help

Change transmission fluid and mechatronic seals and sleeves.

If you search on this forum, you'll find a little bit of a how-to. It's not an easy job, but very doable in your garage if you are mechanically inclined. Buy the metal pan with separate filter and not the OE one.
