Thread: Td5 Auto slow to get going first thing

The 'issue' has been from day one when bro bought the TD5.
Trans has been rebuilt 5K prior to purchase, but on the invoice they didn't spec that the torque converter had been renewed in any way(new or rebuilt).
Just the trans being rebuilt.
Bro had the torque converter rebuilt not that long ago too, was slipping/vibrating/not locking up as expected. But since rebuild, working fine too.
So AFAIK, trans is 99% thought to be OK.

I don't know actual build differences between the D1 HP22 and the D2 HP22E in terms of mechanicals, obviously the electronic differences, but D1 doesn't do this in the same scenarios as the D2 does.

Also I'm like JT, in that I always idle before moving off anyhow(hot or cold) .. usually 15 sec sometimes more(being a smoker I roll 'em up, and can take some time).

Strewth! When I smoked I would have run out of diesel by the time I did that. Not in my skillset.

Mine had the torque converter done by the previous owner, it has a lower stall speed and better clutches. The car has 360,000km on it and I have no idea whats been done to it. Im going to drop the pan and do an oil and filter on it this weekend.

I do have a complete parts donor like any self respecting landy owner so will just see what happens to it.

Wouldnt mind picking up another trans to do a proper upgrade/rebuild on
