My Vauxhall Vivaro is having trouble shifting gears and I've noticed the shifting feeling really rough. I've checked the transmission fluid and it seems to be at the right level. What could be causing this issue?
ReplyHi Alexandra, rough shifting can be caused by a few different things. One possible culprit could be a dirty or clogged transmission filter. It's important to regularly change your transmission filter to prevent this issue. Another potential cause could be an issue with the clutch or clutch cables. It's always best to have a professional mechanic take a look to properly diagnose and fix the issue.
Alexandra, another factor that can contribute to rough shifting is low transmission fluid. Even if it seems like the level is fine, it's possible that the fluid may be old and in need of a change. It's also a good idea to have the transmission fluid flushed and replaced every 30,000 miles to prevent any potential problems. Make sure to only use the recommended type of fluid for your Vauxhall Vivaro.
Hey Alexandra, rough shifting could also be an indication of a more serious issue with the transmission itself. It's best to have a certified mechanic take a look and conduct a proper diagnosis to determine the root cause of the problem. It's always better to catch and address any issues early on to prevent further damage to your vehicle.
