Title: Auto box slow
Post by: jimvrs on 22 January 2009, 09:33:41

Please help me my miggy 2.5 V6 auto has a problem. When it is cold (the car not the weather) the car will not change gear or rev beyond two to two and a half thousand revs as you set off in " D"

However it will change manually 1...2...3....D and it seems fine when it's warmed up a bit.

Could it be the fluid (not sure when the last change was)or something more sinister???

Please help !!!   :-[

The car will stay in first gear for a couple of hundred yards to warm the cats up.  ;)

Yes I know about the cats thing and i was used to that, even gave it some beans to help them, but this will not rev above 2000 whereas it did before????

It is very dangerouse pulling onto a main road !!

I would do the paperclip test and see if you have any codes stored.

I'd reckon on ATF and filter-change first.
See where you go from there.
