Good day, i've only had my Disco1 tdi/auto since late Jan, ive been picking thru some small issues, new alternator/coolant reservoir, changed all filters and most fluids (but not tranny filter and fluid yet)and generally wondering how good a state of tune the engine is, and what more power I can tweak from it, as I think its a pretty lazy engine.
But I realize that the transmission is part of the lazy feel, altho all of the gears shift through ok, the acceleration from standstill makes me feel the torque convertor has a very high stall, ive also had problems where in reverse gear, trying to reverse up a slope, or even some small object or bad bit of level ground, the vehicle will barely move even with my foot down. 1st gear forward seems better than reverse, and when I put the transfercase into low, the lazy hi stall feeling is greatly overcome, so i've never actually gotten stuck anywhere.
I wanted to ask if this seems in any way normal, or if a particular servicing of the tranny is recommended, again the actual shifting of gears up and down when up to speed in general driving seems fine, tho I make have a look at the kickdown cable.
