Hii, i have a 1996 isuzu trooper citation v6 petrol 3.2L. I have 2 main problems with this vehicle that is very disturbing

1. Gearbox: i noticed that, my trooper takes time to change from one gear to another. I had to push the gas until 3500 rpm for the gear to change

2. The engine sounds like a diesel engine and it produced a black smoke from the ekzos.

With black smoke it could be a rich issue. Try looking at the engine coolant temperature sensor and makes sure that it is reading correctly.
