Ok at the end of last year (2007) i had my auto replaced by a second hand box due to my torque converter breaking off and destroying my box while doing 100 kmph:(. Anyways i had my the box serived and fitted by my zed mechanic and i trust the work he did was dont correctly and i know second hand boxes arent like brand new auto boxes when it comes to having problems and such.

 

Ok so atm ive had the new box for about 2 months and ive been having a problem while driving at low speeds in first gear where my car would sometimes not want to change up 2 second gear. basically the car will rev but not accelerat at all. Now ive tried to manually shift the auto into 2nd and 1st gear but no change occurs. Ive also tried turning the O/D switch to off and still no difference. Ive also tried switching the POWER and HOLD settings to also have no change. Ive worked out if i pulled over and turn the car off and then on again the car will then shift normally.

 

Now i rang my zed mechanic after the first time this happened and he said the clutch could be slipping or a seal was sticking inside the box. Would this sound right for this problem im having. I havent had it check/fixed yet as i almost went broken trying to replace the old auto with the new one. I am currently saving up so cash now so i dont get into this situation again but i just want to know if it could be an electrical problem causing the auto to no shift correctly.

in the end i have changed the gear box,now is fine
