Hi.
Wondering if I might need the ECU updating on my autobox.
It's a 2003 2.6 and sometimes holds in 1st gear for a long time (changes at 30mph) this is even when starting off slow i.e round town in slow moving traffic.
Gear changes are what I would call relatively smooth, although noticeable and the can be a bit of jerking but mostly when accelerating hard.
Last one - kick down also appears to drop 2 gears and then change up one almost straight away.
Am I just worrying too much ?
If it does need attention, any idea who, where and how much ?
Liverpool area.
Thanks

No gearbox dipstick got to do it by removing level plug and trying to top up that way bit of a pain but do able have a look at maintenance guides on here :y
