Re: Request for advice on automatic transmission on V6
I have owned two Bongo diesels & they both clonked into 2nd - worse when cold. I have driven others here at work & most have been the same. Not sure if they all do it from new, clearly most we see have had a previous life. Bumply shifts can be difficult to cure, & can be caused by pressu...
