Thread: 300tdi auto wont change when cold

Just read this thread, and am hoping someone might be able to answer a few related questions?

When people say it doesn't change when cold and other have to rev it way high?
Does that mean it won't change to 2nd at all when cold?
Way high revs, is that 4000rpm or what?

I'm new to this D1 300Tdi auto, so what are the usual gear changes, revs etc?
Mine seems to have 2 "modes": normal acceleration always changes at 3000rpm, especially when cold. Very slight acceleration, changes maybe 2000rpm? It always kicks back to 1st when rounding 90 degree corners and accelerating back up, is that normal?
Also forgot to add that 1st to 2nd, especially when cold, is quite a harsh shift at 3000rpm under normal acceleration. Calms down a bit when warm.
If accelerating harder the change from 1 to 2 is much less harsh.

Jeep boy: when you changed the filter and oil, did you remove the left side transfer box mount as JC said to get to the back left nut on the pan? Did you use a jack to hold the transfer box in place once the left side mount was removed? It doesn't appear that you have to lift the box at all, just undo and remove the mount, is that right?
