hi everyone, i just picked up my GLI on last Monday. I find out the gear changing is not quite smooth....especially upshifting (1st gear to 2nd gear). my car has done 150km already. i'm just wondering if it is normal coz it's still in run-in period? Also, anyone here did change the engine oil when 5000km?
Thanks in advance !
oh forgot to mention. my car is AUTO.
Yes, I have the same prblem on my 09 1.5 jazz. The shit from 1st to 2nd is very harsh. A random thing I found is that the shifts are smoother if the car is using 91 instead of 96.

Mine has done about 7000km now but the harsh shifting has been there since day 1. Come to think of it, I am not sure if the shifts are getting smoother now due to the greater kms or the 91 i am using.Quote:
