My car takes like 1+ seconds to downshift when using the J-Gate. Does this mean that the transmission is in need of service, or does it just mean that a J-Gate is a super slow shifter? I seem to remember it once taking 2 seconds to downshift into 2nd. The upshifts are slightly faster BTW. (The lights on the thing are burned out too... both since I bought it. Annoying.)

Anyone else experience this?

It has just now occured to me that this might be a problem, not an inherent fault.

 

could be either one. why not change the filter and fluid and see if that fixes it.

 

ian i am having a similar issue when my xjr goes between forward and reverse...i am getting my filter and fluid done next week...if you do yours before then let me know how it goes

 

ian - check out this thread about the lights for the j gate

See if you can have the level read before and after service.

Dollars to donuts that your existing level is low.
