hi, just wondered if anyone on here is mechanically 'savvy'when it comes to auto boxes???
had a problem for a while and it seems to be getting worse,which is obvious really
this problem happens all the time when the engine is cold i.e; morning but has started to do it when the engine is warmed up.
problem; when you press the accelorater down to move off,the engine just revs then 'bang'! it will get into gear and go.
sometimes does it around 20mph also when toodling round town.
all seems to be related to the kickdown but when motorway cruising i have floored it at,say, 60mph and it behaves like it should,perfectly normal.
any help and advice would be helpful as im not sure if it needs a new box or something inside the box is damaged.i have been to a re-con box could be as much as £1800 fitted which is more than the car is worth!
thanks for looking
