Greetings to everyone!
Since a couple of weeks, i'm the proud owner of a K10 1.0 Automatic.
The car runs fine, just about 100.000 km, has good maintenance and starts without problems.
In the beginning it was clearly obvious to me it's a 3 speed, as when accelerating , it Changes gear 2 times.
Now, some times i thought to be in Second gear, but when i pressed the accelerator, it changed into a lower gear, i supposed 1st gear, but almost immediatly it changed another one down?!
I thought "Well, i must have been in 3the gear..." although i was only driving around 50km/h, while normaly accelerating, it only hits 3th after 70km/h.
I was intrigued, so i started to focus on the gear changes.
I found out that when i drove really slowly, and only pushing the accelerator down a little bit, i noticed a first 'gear shift at around 20km/h.then between 40 and 60, there is another gear shift, and ultimatly, when i reach 70km/h there is a third gearshift!,
So, 4 gears? hmm.
The odd thing is, when at a standstill, and doing pedal to the medal, I only have 2 gearshifts until the final gear, driving around 100km/h.
Is there someone who can explain this phenomenon to me? I assume it really has only 3 gears, but i'm dying to know what causses the mysteriously extra gearshift at slow acceleration.
In anticipation,
Laurens
