automatic gearbox - quite noticable gear change

Has anybody beenig anoyed by a noticable push back when gear is changed in the automatic gearbox? It is supposed to be seamless, isn't it? Besides there are distinguishable vibrations during acceleration.... Is it normal?

Doesn't sound normal to me either - mostly my changes are seamless, even when accelerating hard, and never any vibrations. I think it's time for a trip back to the stealer! 2007 Baltic Blue SE TD4 Auto

Mine's seemless through 2.5 k miles. The box is supposed to adapt to your driving style, but even if you stabbed your accelerator, I doubt it would upset it. Does it do the same in Command Shift and Sport modes? Sounds like a trip to the dealer. The only thing I've noticed is when going into 'reverse' and sometimes 'drive' from rest , it will lurch slightly, but possibly that's my fault. Was GS TD4 Auto, Privacy, Santorini with Tundra & Alpaca, Cold Climate Pack. Traded for Discovery Sport HSE Auto.

It does it all the times...Specially when changing from 1 to 3...It does it in normal mode. No hard driving, only normal accelerating.....The push back is even more noticable when step on the gas....
it's a pitty...the local dealer does not cover the warranty since the car is bought from Germany...not even wanted to inspect it .....
nevertheless the problem exists....
any suggestions are appreciated!

I'd be inclined to contact Land Rover Customer Services as I thought that the Land Rover warranty applied world wide no matter where you lived or where you bought the vehicle Confused ______________________

It is supposed to be world wide...only the company that represents LR is local...

Mine has done 7,000ks and sometimes there is a lag of changing gears when going uphill or down and it revs out
could this have something to do with the wearing in process?
will keep a eye on it,i might contact the dealer but would have to prove it in a test so it would have to happen all the time.
