Troublesome automatic gearbox on my Grand Modus

I have an issue with automatic gear box on my Renault Grand Modus 1.6 (2008). Have driven autos for over 20 years, mainly Japanese cars so this is my first Renault. I find that the Modus drives more like a manual as you notice gear changes instead of it being a smooth experience.

On my other car - Nissan Almera Tino 2.0 SE Auto (1998) - for example you wouldn't know at all when gears have changed. Have only had the Modus for 2 months, buying from an independent dealer

Have had local Renault run diagnostics and pressure tests but no problems found. They say this is just how the Modus drives. Can you advise whether this is the case or suggest any other causes for this experience?

The servo valve box that controls the gearchanges is probably getting tired. Talk to a member of www.fedauto.co.uk
