Automatic R50.

When I drive it struggles to go into its 'virtual gear' and clunks into action and judders, went into EP mode last night. However, there were no issues with gears in EP mode, a very smooth drive in EP mode. Will not rev over 4,000 on idle. EP mode turns off after restarting the car.

Hello,

This sounds like the engine is misfiring, is the check engine light on? Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can see what's going on? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response. These guides will help us fix it:
