Trouble shifting gears
Posted: Tue Mar 09, 2021 1:23 pm
Hi Grandlanders, have an issue when cold starting and putting into gear my Jan 69 auto 1.2. I’ll assume the normal procedure is after starting, foot on brake, shift to reverse and switch off electric brake. It may because its cold or has been standing for a few days but I cannot get it into gear as it is blocked unless I just blip the throttle and try again. Is there a time lag once started or for the electric brake to come off. It’s fine once I get going and have double checked the auto gear change whilst out and about. I am aware that even if I do not switch off the electric brake and blip the throttle the brake comes off automatically. I don’t think it is a big issue and probably me being use to a slicker gear gate. Any ideas or comments would be appreciated. Incidentally, having be holed up for so long and only occasional getting out and about it’s still a pleasure to drive the GLX. Wishing you all safe driving.
