ok so i had my manifold off at the weekend (write up to follow when i have time) and changed plugs, cleaned it out (unbelievably grimey!), plugged EGR and changed the fuel lines. also got a new battery.
it all went back together ok and runs fine and starts better so im happy with the work.
however, since it has been running after the work the gearbox has gone really clunky. particularly low gears and going down as well as up. It is actually quite violent and jarring. cant be good for the car. It has had a gone run, mostly motorway so not alot of changes, and it hasnt got any better. still kicks down ok and dont think i am missing any gears. changes were really smooth before i did the work this weekend.
what have i knocked and done during the work i did that has made it do this??
not sure how the autobox works but my educated guess would it having something to do with the vac system which now doesnt pull on the EGR?
