Quick question on the ZF gearbox in my car. I’ve noticed that when in manual mode on initial throttle application in all gears there is a sensation that feels like clutch slip for about half a second after throttle application. I know it’s not a clutch as such as it’s a traditional 6 speed auto but having had similar slush boxes before I haven’t noticed similar behaviour. Say I’m in second gear at 2500 rpm with a steady throttle and then quickly increase throttle, the revs jump a few 100rpm and then drop back down a little and then the car starts to accelerate as drive is “taken up”. I would expect once in gear that engine speed and road speed would be “locked” once your rolling.
Not a big deal but normal?
Probably not a lot to worry about, but how many miles on it?
