  • 2.0CDTI A20DTH drivers, at what RPM do you shift to 2nd gear?

    Hey everyone,
    I've been driving a MY2012 A20DTH for a while.

    All the shifts are nice and smooth (upshifts and downshifts),
    except when I'm shifting from 1st to 2nd.

    I just can't get it to shift perfectly, there's always a slight jolt.

    Any advice on how to make it better?

    Thanks!

    I get that, a slight delay and a heavier push on the gear stick, somewhat of a slight crunch

      Might be worth changing the gearbox oil,i had more or less the same but after changing the oil it seems to be a lot better,it seemed to be worse in the morning when everything was cold,once everything gets up to running temp its not a problem-----Dave

        I changed it as soon as I bought it, so thats probably not the problem in my case.

        Just to clarify, it's not hard to get into gear or anything like that,
        it's just that the acceleration doesn't feel nice and smooth between the 1st and 2nd gear change
        as it is with changing between other gears.

          Might just be a characteristic of these gearbox's,i changed mine as that's the way I do things along with all the regular servicing,and with me being an old fart I tend to drive like the driver for Miss Daisy-----Dave

            First and second are quite strained. When I get mine in third, it's a different kettle of fish.
