Hi I have just got this Shogun and Im not familiar with Automatic's when pulling away it seems fine and the gears change at about 2.5k revs till it comes to top gear !!I seem to be racing the engine up to about 3.5 to 4k to get into top gear and have to be doing about 60 mph to get it to change also it seem very slow uphills?? anyone out there got any idea's. Thanks.

all sounds ok from what you have said but if you have the gear oil replaced with new you should notice a difference straight away with changing gear and the up hill problems

Had this problem with my old Paj, and the local garage just slackened off the kickdown cable about 1/16th of an inch, which allows the car to change up at slightly lower revs. Easy fix

In the morning when i start the car and PUT it in D gear. the car will not move. i have to wait for about 3 minutes and then gear will be connected and car will start to move. Usually whole day car will not have any problem. Sometimes i can not shift from 2 wheel to 4 wheel or vice verse. at that time middle orange light will lit. However often, i can easily shift gear from 2 to 4 or vice verse. the problem is only car can not move in the morning and often remain in STRONG power while waiting at Traffic Signals.

Any one can assist me to resolve this issue?
