'02 X-Type 2.5L is shocking at 1500-1700 RPM
Hello everyone,
I have an automatic 2002 X-Type 2.5L V6, and every time when I drive around 70 km/h (1500-1700 RPM), the car shocks pretty hard.
It happens when the car is in the 5th gear, and only around that RPM. When I put the car in the 4th gear (2200-2500 RPM), it drives perfectly fine. When I drive faster (higher RPM), it also drives well.
Does anyone have an idea what could fix it?
Thanks!

I think, we need a better description of what the issue is....
What's the mileage?
Did you ever do an ATF change (Automatic transmission fluid)?
If though: Which ATF did you use?

I still do not know exactly, what this means:
> the car shocks pretty hard.
255,000km is a lot without ATF change. At this mileage the debate starts, if it is absolutely due now, or if it is simply too late already, as there are dirt deposits in the mechanics of the transmission (in the little shifter pistons), which will move during an ATF change and inhibit proper function. Some say, just leave it, until the transmission dies - and maybe that is what happened on your car already...
