Driving in traffic today ,when it should have changed from 2=3 Revs went up to 4000 car slowed down. Did this a few times, hit sport and got home OK. Box was fine again this PM.  Car on 171k mls.

Had this very same problem for a few months, thanks to the internet and people on this site it was the 2to3 solenoid, replaced it together with new fluid and a filter clean, cannot believe the difference, many thanks to all. 158k miles

if your problem is solenoid/s osealy i have a couple left i think, failing that get an AR35 & chip the ecu, itll be like a new car with extra ooomph

I have a 35 from mutantcav in the shed as insurance, but I really don't feel like changing the box myself or paying a ludicrous amount to a mechanic, most of whom won't touch autos. How was 2/3 solenoid identified as faulty? Tech 2? I also have a Jpat gasket set as I had intended to swap the atf but never got round to it.

have you checked the atf level in the box?, but going on the mileage yours has done if the original box i would say its probably time to bite the bullet & change the box if atf level is o,k, i know only too well what a heavy job it is but not difficult,once done youll be glad of it,
