power/shift problem

Hi Guys,
i have a problem when asking for maximum power. When i floor the accelerator to overtake the kick down works the revs go to 3000 it wont change up and i can hear a whistling like a air release. if you back the revs of it will change up but if you push again it does the same as the revs get high.

i have reved it flat out whilst under the hood and cannot hear the whistling so i guess all turbo pipes are ok.


Its 7.2 l diesel with a auto box, its a bit tricky when in traffic at about 70 when you want to overtake!


Any help gratefully received over here!

Cheers Max

I think the problem is that the engine has a problem reaching higher RPMs. Fix the engine problem and the trans will be fine.
