Hesistation between 2nd and 3rd gear. 03 X-Type 3.0

From 2nd to 3rd gear, when accelerating moderately, I get a long pause in shifting, the revs go up and then a bad jolt as it switches into gear. Has anyone ever experienced this before? It's starting to really get me worried. Thanks.

I would say at least 30% of the time. So that's what worries me.

sounds like your transmission slipping. hope you are still under warranty. if so just take it to the dealer. if not, find a good transmission place locally and have them check it out.

Could be a software problem.Ask dealer to re-flash the transmission ECU with the latest software.Read about this curing poor mpg,flatspots,etc on other forums.
